1. Any document, right-click, Paragraph, Edit Style (which opens Paragraph Style dialog box) 2. Click on Help button twice Actual Result: First time, opens help page for the tab. Second time, opens the generic introduction page: https://help.libreoffice.org/6.5/en-US/text/swriter/main0000.html?System=WIN&DbPAR=WRITER Expected Result: Always opens the relevant help page for the relevant tab. Additional information: 1. Same effect for different tabs in the Paragraph Style dialog 2. Have not tested with other dialog boxes 3. Works correctly with 6.3.4.2 tested with Version: 6.5.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 444f0d256957544d26b9af9a0898364e829df1b5 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: GL; VCL: win; Locale: sv-SE (en_DK); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded
Thank you for reporting the bug. I can reproduce the bug in Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha1+ (x86) Build ID: ec7374ff84c71edfbb30d6e4dc5b486b6df7107f CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 6.1 Service Pack 1 Build 7601; UI render: default; VCL: win; TinderBox: Win-x86@42, Branch:master, Time: 2019-11-10_21:37:30 Locale: en-US (en_US); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded But, not in LibreOffice 3.3.0 OOO330m19 (Build:6) tag libreoffice-3.3.0.4. It works fine.
I confirm it with Version: 6.5.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: e26d89371f0e4f41476c9a99be01d98dedb76776 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18362; UI render: default; VCL: win; Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Language: en-GB Calc: threaded

It worked fine until https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=b78edeca8631a5e3b888d6fb357fe9125a491c41. After this commit, the main writer help page was displayed. Later on, it was fixed in https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=34e83dd95260d534464ff9a61eddefdde136013c when the help page is displayed for the first time, but not for the second time.

Also reproducible in Version: 6.3.5.0.0+ Build ID: b4708c1c2b4acb171952ebead751792037161680 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.19; UI render: default; VCL: x11; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded
Have encountered a similar problem with another dialog box. 1. Insert textbox or shape. 2. Select inserted object. 3. Right-click, choose "Position and Size" 4. In "position and size" dialog box, click on Help twice. Result: Finds help page first time. Gives error message for all subsequent clicks on help. Additional information. 1. Same result if "Rotation" tab is used with this dialog box. Question: Should this new case (with a different dialog box) be considered part of the same bug? Or should this be filed as a new, separate report?

I cannot reproduce this bug. Every time I click the Help button I land in the "Organizer" tab: https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-US/text/shared/01/05040100.html?System=UNIX&DbPAR=WRITER&HID=sfx/ui/managestylepage/ManageStylePage#bm_id3145356 I tried closing and opening the Paragraph Style and clicking the Help button multiple times, but could not find any issue.

Still present in Version: 7.2.5.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 499f9727c189e6ef3471021d6132d4c694f357e5 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL Target of second click is now: https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-GB/text/shared/05/err_html.html?System=WIN&DbPAR=WRITER&HID=modules/swriter/ui/paradialog/help Restart in SafeMode has no effect. Same behaviour with paragraph dialog.
Dieter, I gave another try using "gen" and "gtk3" backends. I could not reproduce the bug. Maybe this is bug with the "win" backend?
(In reply to Rafael Lima from comment #11) > Maybe this is bug with the "win" backend? Xisco could reproduce it with Linux (see comment 4 and 6).
I think this effect happens only for the online help, and when the intermediate "Help is not installed...Read Help Online" dialog is shown
