I think I've found a bug in the IDE Help system that prevents certain help
topics from showing up when pressing F1 while in a code window.

I'm not sure how to describe it, so I'll illustrate by example:

All of the following help topics _should_ show up in the Indy.Sockets help.

First, a baseline test -- Type "TIdTCPClient" in the code window, and press
F1. The help successfully finds the correct topic.

Second baseline -- Type "OnConnected" in the code window, and press F1.
The help finds 3 topics, and lets you choose. Note that none of the topics
are in the "RAD Studio VCL Reference".

Now the problem -- Type "Host" in the code window, and press F1. The help
finds 7 topics, all in the "RAD Studio VCL Reference". Note that the Indy
topics are not found, even though they exist. In my experience so far, this
problem occurs with ANY help topic that exists both in the "RAD Studio VCL
Reference" and in another location.

Can anyone else duplicate this?

(UPDATE: Peter Below (TeamB) verified this behavior with latest updates)
