Just a small thing I noticed:

When a topic is open and the focus is in the topic area, using the scrollwhell of my mouse doesn’t make the area scroll. I have to use the scrollbar.

I all other area’s it does work, so I’d expect this not something to do with my scrollmouse setting.

Paul,

Thanks for reporting this issue.

Currently, we have no control over the scrolling/scrollwheel configuration of the Servoy Help Navigator.
Servoy uses Oracle Java Help to generate the online Help.

We will, however, report this problem.

I see :-(

Could one do that on one machine, zip/tar up the contents of the Servoy/docs/developer_manual folder/directory then unzip/untar that in the Servoy/docs/developer_manual folder/directory on another machine and expect all to be well?

Thanks,
Neale.
