Description Michele Calgaro 2014-11-14 07:40:01 CST

While investigating bug 1850, I came across a strange khelpcenter behavior. In some rare cases, khelpcenter fails to correctly display (or resolve) the requested handbook section if another section is already open.

To reproduce:

1) from command line type:
khelpcenter help:/kxkb/index.html#layout-config
and observe the correct handbook section opens.

2) close (very important) the help center and from command line type:
khelpcenter help:/kxkb/index.html#switching-config
and observe the correct handbook section opens once again.

3) *do not* close the help center and from command line type once again:
khelpcenter help:/kxkb/index.html#layout-config
Observe the correct handbook section *does not* open, instead the previously displayed section remains on the screen

I'm guessing this is because khelpcenter (correctly) thinks it already has the correct *page* open, but doesn't care about the changed section.  Should be trivial enough to fix in the handbook opening code.

Fixed in GIT hash 687b146 (tdebase).

Thanks for reporting!

Comment 3 Michele Calgaro 2015-06-03 18:20:58 CDT

The problem is in another part of code ( TDEHTMLPart::gotoAnchor() ), so commit 687b146 has been reverted since it caused other problems (see bug 1850 and 2320).
I will work on this bug in the next days.

Comment 4 Michele Calgaro 2015-06-08 23:18:27 CDT

Actually the problem was not in TDEHTMLPart::gotoAnchor() but in the way the handbook section was called.
Fixed in commit da25462 (master) and 5c03120 (r14.0.x).
