Updates in 3.46

Fixes

Toolbox utility

• The Normalize Styles tool failed to identify some styles as paragraph styles and incorrectly reported that the style could not be found. The affected styles were styles based on other styles without explicit paragraph attributes of their own.
• Some HM projects converted from Help+Manual 4 would cause Toolbox to crash and close when they were opened.
• The Add/Remove Topic ID Prefixes function failed without completing on some projects with an unusual combination of settings.
• The Rename Variable function didn’t update the display of the new variable name in some projects.

V3 WebHelp Skins

• In the layout tables function the style name for identifying layout tables has been changed from layout-table to layout_table. This was necessary because you need to define a project style for this and Help+Manual no longer permits the definition of style names with dashes in the project stylesheet. Old projects using the hyphenated style name will still work; you just can’t create new styles with hyphens. The tap images function is not affected because the style for that does not need to be defined in Help+Manual.
• Focus is now automatically set to the search input field in the Search pane whenever it is displayed.
• User-defined menus in the page header would sometimes extend beyond the edge of the page.
• If you are using Google Analytics, topic pages opened from search results or the keyword index will now include the search text or index keyword in the tracking reference. For example, if the user searched for red widgets or used the red widgets index keyword and clicked on the Introduction topic the tracking reference will be introduction.html?q=red+widgets (?q= is the standard reference for search terms in GA). You can turn this off with the new URL_QTRACKER configuration variable.
• If you are using a non-standard port (anything except port 80) for your web server the permalink function will now include the port reference in the permalink to prevent the URL from being invalid.

V3 eWriter Skins

• Focus is now automatically set to the search input field in the Search pane whenever it is displayed.
• User-defined menus in the page header would sometimes extend beyond the edge of the page.

V2 Webhelp/eWriter skins

• Focus is now automatically set to the search input field in the Search pane whenever it is displayed.
• The Open topic in a new tab function displayed an incorrect message that the topic is already open in a new tab on some touchscreen Windows devices (MS Surface and similar).
