Hello,
I wanted to use the Manipulate command in some of my old help files,
i.e. HelpBrowser and not DocumentationCenter.
Thereby I noticed the following weird behavior:
Open the HB with
FrontEndTokenExecute["HelpDialog"].
Evaluate
Manipulate[Plot[Sin[k x], {x, 0, 1}], {k, 1, 2}].
It won't behave properly when moving the slider. Now strange is that
1.) Animate works
2.) Copying the output cell and pasting it again works.
I used M6 in Windows, on Mac and Linux everything worked as expected.
Can anyone explain this behavior or (even better) knows a (simple)
workaround. My best idea would be to use Animate instead.
Thanks in advance
Markus Huber
