Description Nick Edgar CLA 2001-10-10 22:23:20 EDT
- activate Navigator view
- hit F1
- choose one of the items
- the Help view opens in the Help perspective
- close the Help view
- you're left with a blank perspective

This is very confusing.  In order to get back to the regular perspective, you have to
choose Perspective / Close.

Closing the Help view should put you back where you were when you hit F1.

	It may make sense to generalize this: if last view closed, close perspective.

Pls verify that this is fixed as part of the "loss of context" work that we 
were doing. 
Comment 3 Simon Arsenault CLA 2002-05-27 11:30:17 EDT
Help is no longer a perspective. However, we should look into this general 
issue for the next release.

Reopened for investigation
