Hi Ben,
I hacked a bit on this today, inspired by your lead:

Improve the user experience of running the Pharo[Syntax]Tutorial aka ProfStef by:
- adding a simplified (do it/print it/inspect it) menu to the HelpBrowser contents view
- adding inspect it to the LessonView menu
- adding a lesson about inspection, PharoSyntaxTutorial>>#inspecting
- change the doing/printing/inspecting lesson titles
- make PharoTutorial/ProfStef #next and #previous work for both the standalone LessonView and the tree based HelpBrowser (apart and together) without opening a new one
- make HelpBrowser>>#onItemClicked: deselect in the text view
This needs a review; some hacking was involved.

Ben,
He is right, it is a problem when you go to the tutorial via the Browse tutorial tool:
And yes there is already an issue but it was temporary closed because the welcome space's first _expression_ helps a bit.
I had a little look at it. I naively tried...
HelpBrowser>>initWindow
contentMorph := self defaultViewerClass on: self
text: nil
accept: nil
readSelection: nil
menu: #codePaneMenu:shifted:. "<--replaces nil"
HelpBrowser>>codePaneMenu: aMenu
^ aMenu addAllFrom: SmalltalkEditor yellowButtonMenu
But while it shows a menu, the DoIt opens a new window rather than changing the text in the help browser. Digging further, HelpBrowser >> helpTopic eventually uses PharoTutorialHelpTutorialBuilder to convert Lessons into HelpTopics - and so with the current architecture there seems not possible for the #next sent to PharoTutorial to change the HelpTopic displayed in the HelpBrowser.
The options I can guess are:
1. Strip the "PharoTutorial next" from the bottom of each lesson and have the LessonView >> showLesson:withTitle: append "PharoTutorial next" to the text of each Lesson.
2. Lessons are not converted to HelpTopics. Instead use or wrap PharoTutorial directly and link its #lessonView: to the HelpBrowser somehow.
3. Somehow use announcements.

I reported a problem with the mouse right-click under Windows 7 last January and the 30845 update still exhibits the same behavior.
Selected Pharo Tutorials from the World menu. Expanded Pharo Syntax Tutorial. Clicked Welcome. Highlighted 'PharoTutorial next.' Right-click of mouse does nothing. Fortunately, Alt-D does perform the do-it action. Once the new tutorial window opens, then right-click works as advertised. It is just that first panel where it is non-functional. Unfortunately, that panel tells the user "right-click and choose 'do it (d)'"
That is strange, it works for me on Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit with freshly downloaded VM+image
I did this...
1. Downloaded and unzipped http://files.pharo.org/platform/Pharo3.0-win.zip (dated 2014-04-29).
2. Double clicked pharo.exe
3. World Menu > System > System Reporter
4. In Welcome, highlighted "PharoTutorial go" > right-click > Do it
5. In Tutorial, highlighted "PharoTutorial next" > right-click ---> took the attached snapshot
cheers -ben
btw do you have the case number?
