Description David Kaspar 2000-02-08 21:19:03 UTC 
{JDK 1.2.1}

Get popupmenu on some node in explorer
Move mouse out of popupmenu region to unselect popupmenu`s item
Press F1
It sometimes opens different help pages and throws NullPointerException

[jglick--why was this assigned to Patrick Kn?] Cannot reproduce on NT with 1.3. Does this only occur on Solaris/1.2.1, or did you try other platforms? "different help pages" is not specific enough--F1
 should open help on the item the cursor is over, so if you move the cursor off of a popup menu and hold it over e.g. the Explorer, it should display help on the selected item in the Explorer. And wha
t is the NullPointerException?
