Description Kevin Suo 2014-12-16 08:49:26 UTC
Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch start center;
2. Click on the "Help" button, on the bottom-left side.

It does nothing.

Same here. OSX 10.10.1, latest 4.5 nightly.
Comment 2 Michael Weghorn 2015-01-10 18:00:47 UTC
I've bibisected this.
(The skipped version did not start up correctly and had the following output:
"terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::uno::DeploymentException'")


bibisect result:

There are only 'skip'ped commits left to test.
The first bad commit could be any of: 95bb80320b4a35f2c962b8c85b302c9aae75cbcb e27c1bb1024cb75ecc0b210874077ca542cac75c
We cannot bisect more!

@Adolfo: Do you have any idea whether it might be related to the following commit of yours?

Comment 4 Matthew Francis 2015-01-14 06:50:59 UTC
Confirmed by building that it was the below commit which broke the Help button.

This is probably related to the method
  Button* extractStockAndBuildPushButton(Window *pParent, VclBuilder::stringmap &rMap)
in vcl/source/window/builder.cxx - the label "gtk-help" is magical
