Problem description: This is an enhancement request to enable a more efficient use of the help window information: There should be a button at the help window to enable selection "stay on top" or "not stay on top". A toggle switch function would be perfect. Steps to reproduce: 1. .... 2. .... 3. .... Current behavior: Help window disappears when clicking on the main window of any LibO application Expected behavior: A button on the help window to enable that the window stays on top if the button is clicked; clicking a second time the window should behave as currently. Platform (if different from the browser): Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0
Do you not have that function in MS-Windows? With Gnome under Linux I can right-clic on the title bar and I get several choices, one of them is "in the foreground". So I am tempted to say that that is the role of the window manager. Best regards. JBF
I checked with MS WORD 2003 on an old PC. there the WORD main window gets smaller and the help window stays open on the right side of the WORD main window. This is also a good solution because it allows working in the main window while looking at the help file. The idea with staying on top I saw somewhere. If I am not mistaken it was in an older MSO version. What you wrote about Linux is excellent. I hope that LibO can also create such a functionality - for old fashion guys like me using windows. I my case I am still dreaming of using Linux, but don't have the time to learn all what is needed. Currently I am struggling with LibO.

Also here what kind of information is needed. This is an enhancement request. If the request is not clearly formulated please ask specific questions and I will provide specific answers.
Got confirmation from French QA Team that it is not possible to do the same as under Linux (my suggestion in comment #1). So set status to NEW. Best regards. JBF
Made summary more descriptive. Best regards. JBF
Thanks JBF for working on this.
Closing as WFM. Current help system is shown in browser. Should be able to configure as desired.
