Some users confuse the intended purpose of the forward and back button in the Eclipse help system UI.  Some think it is to move you from one topic to the next or previous one in the TOC, instead of forward and backward through the user's history.  This could be mitigated to some extent by graying out the forward button when the user has no page to go forward to.

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.
