Re: Help not working in V5.1.2.5

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jon,

Help on my 5.1.2.5 set is kind of flaky, too, but not exactly as you're 
describing.  For me it comes up OK at first, but as soon as I select 
something in the index pane, it goes all squishy.  And, even if it looks 
good, and I tab to another session on my PC and then back, the index 
pane is more or less blank with the content pane is mushy (more 
technical terms for you to digest).

Clicking around in the index pane seems to restore things for awhile, 
though I can't quite get down the mouse click sequence or panel 
location.  *Though double-clicking on the gray bar above the index pane* 
does seem to alternately expand the pane to full screen and back to 
normal (with the content pane) as it should be (readable, not squishy). 

So I'm not experiencing the same follies that you describe (blank index 
and 'topic not found'), but it is weird.

I wonder if it could in any way be attributed to the fact that I have 
both v6 and v5.1.2.5 installed?  Is that your situation?
