IDE Help broken / unavailable in IDEA 12.1.1 on Mac OS X (10.8.3)
Hello All!
I am a long time IDEA user but I am switching over to a Mac from a Win environment and I ran into an issue. When I attempt to access IDEA's built in help, the Mac Help Center pops up with the following message:
The selected topic is currently unavailable.
The topic you were trying to view could not be found.
I have tried to invoke help from within the IDE in a project by pressing 'F1', Navigating to 'Help' -> 'Help Topics', and from the main IDEA start screen when no project is open. As far as I know, I did a standard installation of IDEA on the Mac. The Mac is band spanking new, only a few days old, so no cruft.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I refer to the docs IDEA docs alot and appreciate the native docs vs. the web docs.
Thanks & Cheers!
Specs per: About IDEA:
JDK1.6.0_43 (64-bit VM - Apple)
IDEA is currently properly licensed

A little more info...
I downloaded 12.0.4 and Help worked as expected. I then update 12.0.4 to 12.1.1 by overwriting the previous version. The help is still there, however the formatting is NOT styled. Is this possibly a bug in 12.1.1? Can any other Mac users verify?
Sorry, this is a bug, which is fixed in the later builds.
I updated to the latest 12.1.2 EAP resolved this issue. Thank you.
