Build Identifier: M20110119-0834

Clients have opened dynamic help, and are tabbing through the properties view, however the dynamic help does not get updated until the user actually invokes F1 on the selected property.

This is an enhancement request for the properties view/dynamic help to support tabbing through elements on the page and updating the help accordingly.  

In addition, if possible, simply clicking a label that has associated help should also update the dynamic help.  Users should not have to change any properties in order to get the context to invoke help (e.g. should not need to select a checkbox in order to bring focus to the control with help associated, rather just selecting the label should work).

Reproducible: Always

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.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
