Title: Help! Can't use help!
Post by: lambertia on October 06, 2014, 09:46:28 PM
Hi!

Whenever I click "help" in a dialog or the menu SE gets stuck in 100% CPU and the help never loads (I have it two hours).

Cheers!

SlickEdit should be attempting to run firefox. Can you run firefox?

The good news. Our plan is to stop using web browsers for help on Unix and Mac. Mac is actually the bigger problem since it does not support finding an item (blah.html#location) within a help page which makes the current solution pretty bad. Hopefully, we can get this done for v20.

I suspect that my browser config points to something other than opera which is no longer installed. Unfortunatly I can't change the config as it freezes in the same way if i try!

ok a little sym link magic to have opera point to Firefox and I was able to reset the browser config to Firefox. I'm all good now! Thanks!
