It would be nice to be able to move around in the Help Window while following the tutorial. The ability to scroll in the Help Window is not available while the Template Chooser is active. I'm sure other dialogs requiring a user input will behave the same way. Also as the Work areas change the Help Window does not move with the user. I can see a possible benefit to this (having unique help windows for each area), but when following tutorials you have to keep opening a new help window and finding where you were. This is distracting to an advanced user, and down right devestating to a novice user. The solution to both of these problems is two fold, one have the help window be a separate application; two have the html pages available to a standard html browser.
This is duplicate of a couple other bugs/enhancements which are fixed/implemented in the trunk. Ivana, please add the correct CC for FFJ sustaining--thanks.
