Description Petr Slegr 2000-01-18 23:54:39 UTC 
What is happening is that the JavaHelp window opens, which has no node selection and so various actions are disabled. So the correct ones are enabled for the selected window, which is no longer the
Explorer.

Right-clicking back in the explorer restores the node selection.

[jglick] Now have a fix which will close the popups when F1 is pressed so that you do not see them become unenabled--they should be closed anyway. Similar to what happens already on the Main Window. A
lso have a fix for an problem in MainWindow which caused it to sometimes print an exception on console and not deselect the menu bar if you pressed F1 over a menu (sometimes)--the menu selection was b
eing cleared in the wrong thread and screwed things up.

If you move the mouse immediately after pressing F1 the menu will not go away. This is intentionally done in the code, although I do not know why it is so. If the mouse does not change to a new item,
then the menu will disappear (and all supermenus too).

Waiting to check in.


[jglick] Jarda checked in a fix for the MainWindow version. Have not checked in corresponding version for HelpAction.
