Yes this was deliberate. The way the help option works in the bitpim menu is
not the way (windows) applications work. I was make the help button behave
in a way users expect it to.
Some apps have an additional button for context sensitive help, usually a ?
icon with a pointer on it, this allows the user to click on the control that
they want help on.
http://www.wxpython.org/docs/api/wx.ContextHelp-class.html says that
wxpython supports this, although it is unclear whether it will work just for
dialogs or the main window as well. This is a lot of work for very little
gain IMHO, I've done this in the past in MFC apps, but while observing test
users working on GUIs I've rarely seen them use it.
