Description _ jrichard 2004-02-08 17:34:52 UTC 
I started up help with F1, switched to the "find"
tab, and typed jumplist<enter>.  Help showed 

 - Source Editor
     - abbreviations
     - jumplist
     - macros
     ...

but it didn't display the jumplist page.  Double
clicking on the jumplist node (or anything else
under the first Source Editor node) doesn't do
anything.  

There is a second Source Editor node which works,
but that has "jump list" not "jumplist".  I'm not
sure which one is correct.

Patrick, any idea if this is a mangled help ID?  I'm guessing there's nothing wrong with 
JavaHelp (and if there is, probably nothing we can do about it on our end except wait for 
the next upgrade).
Comment 2 Patrick Keegan 2004-02-09 09:47:55 UTC 
we are in the midst of a big re-indexing to take advantage of JavaHelp
2.0's mergng capabilities for indexes of different help sets. Most
likely, we accidentally broke some of the mappings for index items.
This should be fixed in the coming days.

John, do you know about this one?
Comment 4 John Jullion-ceccarelli 2004-02-09 10:54:10 UTC 
Hmmm, so none of the nodes under Source Editor are working at all?
This is strange. There is no bad help ID/metadata mistakes I can think
of that would cause this. I definitely haven't seen this on Windows,
maybe a Linux-only thing. Anyways, I checked in a lot of changes to
the index over the weekend so it may have fixed it. Please try to
download a dev build and look, I will also try to find a Linux machine
to test it on.

Well, it's not exactly that.  It's more like there are two Source
Editor nodes.

I tried 20040209.  The "jumplist" node (and its siblings) are gone...

so I'll close this as fixed.
