Description hans_werner67 2006-01-12 09:03:20 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.

target 2.x for usability test results with prio 2
Comment 3 matthias.mueller-prove 2007-09-07 12:58:47 UTC 
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.

Hi Andreas, Peter,
what did you discuss?

Comment 7 pb 2007-09-11 11:53:17 UTC 
pb -> mmp: we only decided that I am responsible for the help viewer.
Comment 8 matthias.mueller-prove 2007-09-11 12:06:16 UTC 
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.
Comment 9 pb 2008-03-31 10:50:48 UTC 
pb: because the user can align the document window and the help viewer by
herself I think the priority can be changed to P3.
Comment 10 Mathias_Bauer 2009-05-07 13:00:42 UTC 
I think before we can work on this, we need a specification or at least a
description how the resizing shall work.
