Description pmb 2019-06-13 23:37:22 UTC
Description:
The Help option takes me to my web browser constantly. I am using "English U.K." and through research I found an article about locales and co-ordination.

Nothing I do in English U.K. and raise the off-line help.

The only abnormality is that my KDE reports "United Kingdom - British English (en_GB). My locale reports LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 / LANGUAGE=en_GB.

I have downloaded all three modules including the en_gb three times. Same results.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on Help
2. Should use off-line file
2. Takes me to web browser
3.

Actual Results:
see above

Expected Results:
The off-line help should be used


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
Version: 6.2.4.2
Build ID: 2412653d852ce75f65fbfa83fb7e7b669a126d64
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: kde5; 
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-GB
Calc: threaded

Note: This bug report seems to keep advising me to enter the version number. I did many times. The only way around the issue was to choose another version. My real version is 6.2.4.2.

You'll notice the "off-line" help has been refactored to use your system default Web browser rather than a OOo era HTML view mode.

You can tell by local on file system URLs', e.g. file:///C:/Program%20Files/LibreOffice/help/en-UK on Windows builds.
