EA On-Line Help
« on: December 30, 2005, 09:22:13 pm »
Hi, I was wondering if anybody else is experiencing this problem?  It is fairly simple, all you need to do is launch EA and then click on the help contents icon.  The help window launches as you would expect, but the problem is I cannot use Alt + Tab to toggle back and forth between on-line help and EA.  This is basic windows application functionality which is why I wanted to ask if others have this same problem before submitting a bug report.

Thanks in advance!

The same happens to me as well, though it does not bother me too much. You can also minimize the help window if you want to return back to EA without closing the help.

To me it seems like the EA help window has the "Always on top" attribute. I would also like to see it behave as a normal window instead.

Out of my memories mist I recall a communication with Sparx where I pointed out this (strange) behaviour. The conclusion was, that a later release should correct it. Obviously this has not been the case so far. As it doesn't bother me much, I'd recommend to send a bug report who ever might be concerned...
