Description Alexei Mokeev 2002-08-20 14:23:41 UTC

In Help chapter "Using a Web Browser With the IDE"
writen:

"You can open a web browser from the IDE in two
ways:
Choose View -> Web Browser (Ctrl-7) to open the
browser to your home page.
Choose Help   ->Bookmarks -> web-site-name to open
the browser to a predefined site.
You can configure the IDE to use either the
internal Swing HTML browser or an external web
browser. "

However SWING browser always opened via Ctrl-7 or
via View->Web Browser. Your
settings for default browser for IDE ignored.

Well reproduced with S1S 4.1 build 020814

View -> Web browser action raises window with browser and requests
focus for it if it already exists. If it doesn't exists it opens
browser using IDE settings. Thus if you open Swing browser and then
change your settings it will always use Swing browser. 

Your new settings will be applied when you close the browser and
restart the IDE.
