Problems - user manual

[Willem Ferguson]

In the latest master of the desktop version, the manual does not open
when one selects Help->User manual.

Code was compiled with -build-with-webkit

Any idea about the cause of this?

The user manual on the Subsurface website is rather old: Version 4.6.

Kind regards,

willem

Thanks for noting this.
The culprit is my commit d21d42b69117aae04b68ecc9cc2139e034bde146, in which I
make the UserManual a child-object of MainWindow.

You can fix this for now by removing this in line 1358 of mainwindow.cpp:
helpView = new UserManual();

Before posting a patch, I'd like to figure out the root-cause of the problem.
Because this is utterly strange...
