Unresolved Issue: Help Sidebar

[MikeForshock]

So it has been mentioned for nearly two years.

Opening Help (press F1) from any modal (on top) window opens in the sidebar and is inaccessible.
The help is not optimized for this sidebar, it should perhaps open a new inset window or something similar, since the Virtual ViewX cannot open a dedicated window as has been mentioned before. 

Otherwise may as well disable the help hot-key.

Running the Latest Build as of today...

Thanks Mike,

The Help window in 2021 has been limited in this release because of the switch in ViewX to Chromium/Webkit, and we hope to be able to make it a separate task again as in prior releases. 

The modal issue is a topic of discussion, some think there should be more modal in the product and some less!

Can't you just pull the side bar out and float the window?  ViewX Should let you do that then resize it to what you want.  Next time you hit F1 it'll pull it back to the last position/size.  Another option is to access help from the browser which in my opinion is always the better option unless you're looking for context sensitive help.
