Unlike in Delphi, If I click on a component in Lazarus 1.0 RC 2 and then tap
F1, nothing happens. The only way I can bring up help is to type the full
component name (e.g. TDBGrid) in the editor and then tap F1.
But then I still can't read it all because neither tapping the vertical scroll
bar nor using the page up/down keys does anything.
I'm using Win 7 64 bit.
Checking on Linux x86 (i.e. 32-bit): F1 on the TButton on the standard
tab does nothing, ditto for a TButton on a form.
F1 on a TButton in the upper pane of the Object Inspector brings up a
browser for online help, while F1 on one of its properties in the lower
pane brings up lhelp- this is an unfortunate inconsistency.
Scrollbar is OK in lhelp's right-hand pane, but cursor keys are
associated with the left-hand pane (i.e. even after a mouse click in the
help text, page up/down don't work as expected).
