When the System Settings->Web Browser property is set to <Unspecified>, the IDE should use the internal browser for viewing HTML documents and opening web bookmarks. However, when the browser setting is reset to <Unspecified> from a different browser type, Open in New Window and selecting a bookmark from the Help menu will use the wrong browser. Following are steps to reproduce: 1. By default, Web Browser property is set to <Unspecified>. 2. Select "Open in New Window" on a web bookmark object. The ICE Browser is opened. 3. Select a bookmark from the Help menu. The ICE Browser is opened. 4. Change the Web Browser property to be an external browser. 5. Select "Open in New Window" on a web bookmark object. The external browser is opened. 6. Select a bookmark from the Help menu. The external browser is opened. 7. Change the Web Browser property back to be <Unspecified>. 8. Select "Open in New Window" on a web bookmark object. The external browser is opened, incorrectly. 9. Select a bookmark from the Help menu. The external browser is opened, incorrectly. 10. Select "Open" on a web bookmark object. The ICE Browser is opened properly.
The unspecified option is not a valid choice now.
