I20110307-0800 Help/Cheat Sheets Open Java Development/Create a Hello World Application. A cheat sheet will open. Follow through the steps of the cheat sheet until you get to "Create a Java Project" and press the button to create the project. A New Java Project dialog will open. Press the '?' button. Expected result - help is shown in the tray Actual result - the tray is closed This is a regression caused by the fix for Bug 127852. We need to improve the logic that determines when to close the tray.
Created attachment 190929 [details] Patch 0.1 The problem is that the TrayDialog creates a help button, but it doesn't really know if the tray contains help or something else. Here's a potential solution that would work without new APIs. It fixes comment 0, but it doesn't set the help button to 'pressed' state when the user opened help via F1 (and not via the help button). For the perfect solution, we'd have to add something like DialogTray#isHelpTray(), which would be false for cheat sheets but true for actual help.
I think that Patch 0.1 is a perfectly good solution. I don't think that users who open the tray using F1 will expect that pressing the (?) will close the tray.
(In reply to comment #2) > I think that Patch 0.1 is a perfectly good solution. Thanks, released to HEAD.
