moving stuff over to an outside-the-firewall email for the time being, looking
for people to pick these Help and doc bugs up for me.

[R.J. Keller]

Setting TM to Future.

Ian, Is there any progress on this? Can someone on Mac get to this?

Comment 8

[R.J. Keller]

mass reassign of all of Ian Oeschger's bugs to me (R.J. Keller).

Comment 9

[R.J. Keller]

Can anyone still reproduce this?

[Dan M]

Having just closed bug 135342, I'm adding bug 21296 (its root cause), which
you're not going to get rid of easily. Unless you add a menu to the Help window :)

Danm: I'm not sure how big of an issue this is. If there are scroll bars
disappearing, then that doesn't sound like something that would be related to
the menubar. I personally am not in support for having a menubar in Help because
I don't believe that there is enough functionality in Help to fill it up.

Should this be WONTFIX or WORKSFORME?

Comment 12

[Dan M]

It's a metabug; a project tracking device. It's useful only as long as someone
is concerned about the goal it lays down. R.J., if you're the Official Help Guy
and don't find this bug useful, I recommend threatening to close it (as you did
10 days ago) and if no one objects, by all means, close it. This comment could
serve as second warning. robinf? You still there?

Comment 13

[R.J. Keller]

OK, I will close it then. robinf is not there. [e-mail],
[e-mail], and [e-mail] are all of the people who had all
of their bugs reassigned to me (except for rudman's doc: web dev bugs).
