Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 60420
ux-ctest: Help window is not visible when application has focus
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:44:35 UTC
Help and application window can not be shown at the same time. Recommendation: Place Application and Help window side by side, so that the user can follow a step by step instruction without changing the task back and forth.

Hi Frank, do "we" plan to show the help in a not overlapping fashion next to OOo's document windows? Or maybe integrated to a task pane concept? Target can be adjusted...
Only high level discussions where going on with engineering. This has to be seen in context of discussion around the help viewer in general. Passing on to eng.
ab->pb: As discussed...
Hi Andreas, Peter, what did you discuss? Matthias
pb -> mmp: we only decided that I am responsible for the help viewer.
i see, thanks. an initial idea would be to have some auto-arrangements for the windows to avoid a 100% overlap. I hope there will be more ideas to find a working solution for the long run.
pb: because the user can align the document window and the help viewer by herself I think the priority can be changed to P3.
I think before we can work on this, we need a specification or at least a description how the resizing shall work.
