Description Unknown 2002-08-13 09:43:43 UTC 
Having selected Help->Contents from within any application I find the right side 
is not displayed properly. Only the headline and some symbols can be seen.
Nevertheless the text is there somehow because i can copy it to the clipboard by
marking the seemingly empty space on the right side.
Example:
Left side: Content->Help about OpenOffice.org Draw ->Functionality in
OpenOffice.org Draw
Right side: Functionality in OpenOffice.org Draw (headline), lots of white space.
I've copied some of the white space and will paste it now here:


anks to the vector technology you can rotate objects in any direction and alter
their size, without unsightly step effects occurring on the edges. Furthermore,
as all of the objects can be controlled individually, you can move and overlap
them at will.

I am using RedHat 7.2/KDE 2 and I've had this problems with several
installations of OpenOffice 1.0 and 1.0.1, single user installation, network
installation, both as root and as user. This issue comes along with issue #6951

 I get this problem also, running on KDE3. Is it something to do 
with locale (mine being en_GB)?
Comment 2 tmcginn 2002-08-28 17:07:15 UTC 
I have the problem also, could it be related to fonts?  I also have
the spreadsheet problem where the cell height defaults to 1 pixel. 
The spreadsheet problem has to do with fonts.  When I cut and paste to
gedit the text roughly matches the size of the highlighted space.  It
could also be just a font color issue.

My system shows that help is installed, but I am unable to access it. 
I get a page with Help written at the top, but is otherwise blank. I 
am using OpenOffice.org 1.0.1 with Red Hat 7.3. I also installed the 
program in Windows 98 SE and every thing works well.
Comment 4 lohmaier 2002-09-10 18:28:23 UTC 
From what I know, this is a RedHat-Problem with fonts. RedHat claims
to offer fonts that aren't present at all. I think in this case
(Help-System) it's verdana thats missing.
I suggest installing the missing font and try again. (can be obtained
from http://corefonts.sourceforge.net )
HTH.

I was remembering right. This is a RedHat-bug. See issue 4718 for a
workaround/fix
