Developer Help menu - minor problem

Classic Servoy
1

In 2.0, when I open Developer and select Help from the pull down menu, it never opens the first time. It only opens when I select it a second time. I am using Windows XP Professional. It works fine from the client.

can’t reproduce this.
if you start developer through the command prompt (or bat file) with:

java -jar servoy_developer.jar

do you see something appearing there when you ask for the help?

This happens to me also using :

Developer 2.x
Mac OS X 10.3.3

On choosing help from the drop down menu the progress bar on bottom right of application window will indicate that an operation is in progress and then it will stop with no help being displayed.

Choose help again and the window then pops up in front of the developer window instantly !
