Problems with sub-topics in Index

Post by gewriter_2 »

I've encountered a really weird issue within the index. When you enter in a top level index term, the index does just fine. But when you try to put a space, or any other character in order to try to jump directly to a second-level term, the index automatically jumps to the last sub-entry within that term. It pulls this up at the top of the page, so the user has to then scroll back up to visually search for the exact sub-term they were looking for.

Has anyone else encountered this problem, and has anyone been able to solve it?

Hi, Rachel,

This appears to be a bug in the HTML Help viewer for which there is no workaround. Sorry.

You'll notice the same problem in all other HTML Help files, so this isn't a Flare-specific issue.

Pete
