This would be fairly easy to fix but I'm ambivalent about how much of an improvement it would be if the window containing the document to be printed was always closed. The benefit to having the help system close that window is that otherwise the user would have to close it. The downside is that you would no longer be able to see what would get printed without printing it.

Vivian, what do you think?

My suggestion is that:

After user press "cancel" button in Print Dialog, help browser should be activated instead of workbench window.

Because activating workbench window will make user confused, also will make them lost in help contents.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
