Description lars 2005-12-06 18:45:30 UTC 
Hi,

when calling the help from a tab of the Options dialogue, the Help always 
appears with the Help page for all the options and not with the help for the 
tab one is at. one first has to navigate there. I find it cool if the help was 
opened for the tab I am at!
Comment 1 Uwe Fischer 2005-12-07 09:15:32 UTC 
The tools-options dialog initially has the focus on the list at the left side.
There is only one Help ID applied: HID_OFADLG_TREELISTBOX. This Help ID is on
the dialog's main page text\shared\optionen\01000000.xhp.
We have no way to get info about the selected item on the list at the left side.
For each selected item on the left list there should be a separate Help ID.
Workaround for users: click any control at the right side to set the focus
there. Then call the Help.

comment by jwalter copied from double issue:
Reproducable in 2.0.2. But: on the first page in the
Options dialog the Help button leads to the related specific help page. But this
feature is somehow 'lost' after some clicks on pages in the options dialog.
After restart of ooo appropriate help page is foudn in first place again.

ufi->jwalter: please give more info. What is "the first page in the Option
dialog"? (the dialog retains the last open tab page through a session)
Where do you click or not click to get the right help page or the wrong help
page? I cannot confirm this and have no time to test a gazillion sequences of
clicks.

group is selected.
