gnome-help opens infinitely

[Bertrand Chevrier]

Sometimes gnome-help opens windows infinitely (see screenshot). A lot of gnome-help processes are started and I need to switch to tty1, and run killall gnome-help.
I have no idea of what triggers that. I think (but not sure) that appends when I'm working in gnome terminal.

Could you please try the same on Natty? Or tell us some easy steps in order to reproduce the issue? thanks.

[Bertrand Chevrier (chevrier-bertrand)]

It occurs by hitting F1 in the gnome-terminal.

If you hit f1 in a terminal it opens a thousand of yelp windows? Could you please try the same with a new user created there? I cannot reproduce the problem here.

Sorry for the late answer.

Yes

I cannot reproduce it anymore even though I've kept the same yelp package. I've also tested with a newly created user and I'm not able to reproduce it.
