Currently if you click on the Help > PL/SQL Developer Help a new window appear with the user guide. Unfortunately, it is attached fully to the application. If you go back to the main program window and do something that involves a modal window (e.g. New Project) you can no longer control the help window. You can give the help window focus but the user cannot scroll the window.
DEFECT: Help contents display

What happens if you click on the Help button on the modal window?
That is a good workaround and thank you for mentioning it.
Obviously, it is not a solution since a lot of people would not actually think to do that step. Typically, on Windows, when a window is displayed outside of a containing window you can give that new window focus and manipulate it at will. I cannot think of any other Windows application where the Help window is tied so completely to the main UI.
