Description Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) 2007-08-17 18:02:54 UTC 
Yelp 2.18.1, Ubuntu 7.04

1.  Open the help in a program that uses Yelp, such as Epiphany.
2.  Browse around the help pages for a while.
3.  Click "Help Topics".

What should happen: You get taken to the help topics for the program.
What actually happens: You get taken to the help topics for the OS as a whole.

<DonS> so, if a prog opened "ghelp:beanstalk#foo", the Home button goes to ghelp:beanstalk#index

This would also require a "Name-of-OS Help" item in the "Go" menu, so that if you really *did* want to go to the help topics for the OS as a whole, you still could.

Confirming on the basis I agree and we've been discussing on IRC.

Yelp 3 doesn't have a Home button, but it does keep most links and operations inside the current document. Closing.
