Bug Description

Just installed Bazaar stable version on Windows.

Then I opened the Bazaar documentation, and this application is rather painful to use, because every page I click generates a security warning popup, that it is trying to do something with google-analytics, which is apparently interpreted as an attack, or unsafe action.

Is there a way to disable this -- I assume it is embedded javascript being served from some remote server?

I'm not even sure what browser engine is being used, but I suspect Microsoft Internet Explorer -- and it has been my experience that it is difficult to fine-tune security settings in MSIE.

Is there a wildcard site string that I could enter into Restricted Zones in my MSIE to fix this problem?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Yes, this is a bug in the documentation generation scripts. We want to have the tracking js installed on the web site (so that we can see how people navigate the documentation to improve it) but we don't want it in the downloadable copy.

summary: - Bazaar v2.1.0b2 documentation continually causes browser security
- problems with google-analytics code

I discussed this issue with poolie today. We decided to strip the analytics out of the core docs. I'll do that and regenerate the CHM files for 2.1.x.
