Same results for "Update/Merge" and "Watch/Edit" pref pages. I was able to reproduce on 2 different boxes: Windows and Linux. Sorry if this is not the right component for this bug.
Reproducible on Mac as well. Assigning to Team. I guess the help scopes are not properly defined.
I've just discovered it happens to all pref pages named "X/Y". So it's also valid for "Compare/Patch", "Install/Update", "Run/Debug" and others. This is not a Team limited issue. Shouldn't there be a general fix on Help side for all these cases? Moving to Platform/UA for comment.
The problem also exists in Eclipse 3.5. If you perform a help search for any term which includes a '/' an error message is written to the log.
