Help (F1) does not work - can not contact to server

Troubleshooting
Calling up Help (F1) does not open a help window.

The activity log does not show any error. Actually, it does not show any activity whatsoever, except a periodic entry saying

10:27:35 [AWT-EventQueue-0] [debug] EditBus: DynamicMenuChanged[menu=recent-files,source=null]

The problem occurs independent on whether I try to call up the help using the F1 key, or via the Help menu.

Any ideas why this doesn't work?

SOLVED (Calling up Help (F1) does not open a help window.)

My mistake, everything works fine. The following had happened:

When the help window opened, it was automatically placed *behind* the jEdit Window, so I could not see it. Whether this was caused by the fact that I'm using "focus follows mouse / autoraise" as Window policy, or whether it is a genereal property, that F1 doesn't give the focus to the help window, I don't know.
