Oracle compilation error help bug

[Starina]

Hi everybody.

As stated in 31.2 chapter of PL/SQL Developer's Manual double-clicking on a compilation error should bring up it's description in HTML manual.
But the fact is that double-clicking on the error message doesn't work in 9.0.6 neither with Oracle Error Messages Manuals 9.2 nor 11.2. Clicking on the help button tries to search highlighted piece of code instead of error's codenumber.

It works fine for me. What exactly happens when you double-click?

Thanks for the reply.
It doesn't do anything.
I've tested this feature on another PC and found out that erroneous behavior can be reproduced with any ORA-XXXX... errors, not PLS-XXXX... ones. Although it was clearly specified in a user guide that:

Double-clicking on a compilation error in a Program Window will also display this information

An ORA-XXXXX message is not a compilation error though. Can give an example of an ORA-XXXXX message that you get?

Sample code:

create or replace procedure Test as
i_test integer;
begin
select /
1 into i_test
from dual;
end;

----------------------------------------------------------------------
PL/SQL: ORA-00936: missing expression
PL/SQL: SQL Statament ignored
----------------------------------------------------------------------

That does indeed not work as expected. We'll fix it.

Thanks.
