Description Adelson Oliveira 2020-03-20 15:36:00 CET
usually, inside scilab window, the command

>help "some function"

opens a new  window with the help about some function or command;

This is not going as usual in the scilab package for MGA 7. The help window still opens but does not show proper information.
In fact, I'd like to read about the function plot and could not find such reference, it shows different 

Thanks

Packages are:

scilab-doc-6.0.2-2.mga7
scilab-6.0.2-2.mga7

Hi bug reporter and hi assignee and others involved,

Please reopen this bug report if it is still valid for Mageia 8 or 9(cauldron), and change "Version:" in the upper left of this report accordingly.

This report is being closed as OLD because it was filed against Mageia 7, for which  support ended on June 30th 2021.

Thanks,
Marja
