Several help-id for the same command

[Regina Henschel <rb...@t-online.de>]

Hi,

For some fields in the panels of the sidebar I see a new help-id. For 
example the drop-down-list for the line style has got the help-id 
SVX_HID_PROPERTYPANEL_LINE_TBX_STYLE. But the same list has already the 
help-id .uno:XLineStyle for the field in the classical toolbar and the 
help-id RID_SVXPAGE_LINE:LB:LINE_STYLE in the classical line property 
dialog.

Is there a reason for different help-ids?

I can map the new help-id to the existing help text, but I'm not sure 
whether I should do it. Or is it possible and better to use only one 
help-id?

Kind regards
Regina

If there are reason to have different help-ids (which I cannot judge), the
best would be to use only 1 help-id, especially when we think a bit ahead
to the time where we replace the help system.

Yes, but not a good one.  The two line style drop downs (toolbar and 
panel) look the same but at the moment they have different 
implementations.  The panel implementation has been migrated from 
Symphony, together with the help id.

But if it is possible for the help system, then we should use the 
toolbar help id and drop the panel help id.  Both drop downs (should) 
look and behave identical and therefore should have the same help.

Please go ahead and remove or map the panel help id.
