--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
On Windows 7 sp1, 64-bit en-US
Version: 4.3.0.2
Build ID: 14ed55896fdfcb93ff437b85c4f3e1923d2b1409
with en-US offline Help installed.

With StartCenter UI panel open, two <Alt>+H accelerators are viewable. To
choose use of one or the other keyboard focus must be shifted.

With focus on the StartCenter the <Alt>+H will open help article for "Start
Center".

Move the focus (with <F10>) onto the Main Menu bar. <alt>+H will open the Help
drop down, a second H or <F1> will open the LibreOffice Help main page.

The accelerator can be either <alt>+H or simply "h".

On return from the Help items on main menu (either by accelerator, or by F1
special key)--focus shifts from main menu to the Help button on the StartCenter
panel. Not sure that is the best landing point. Focus should probably remain on
File button of the Main menu bar as with other main tool bar items. Or could
shift back to the Open button of the StartCenter, location with focus when the
StartCenter opens.

When <alt>+H accelerator is used from StartCenter--on return, focus also shifts
to the Help button, should probably also remain (shift back) to the Open
button.

Yet when either the Main Menu or the StartCenter UI Help button is mouse
clicked, on exit there is no shift of focus from the object that held focus
prior to the click.

Seems like the behavior of the Help accelerator(s) should be consistent. Also
there probably should not be two of the same accelerators visible on screen at
the same time.
