[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53006] GUI Documentation Browser displays Index chapters of manual poorly

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #73, bug #53006 (project octave):

What I've done is copy


-rw-r--r-- 1 sebald sebald 4994048 octave_interpreter.qch
-rw-r--r-- 1 sebald sebald    8192 octave_interpreter.qhc


to the directory I launch from and then temporarily hard code that launch
directory in place of "collection" QString.  The search works then.

One thing I noticed is that the octave_interpreter.qhc file was being updated
by the GUI upon initializing the QHelpEngine.  I removed


//    connect(m_help_engine, SIGNAL(setupFinished()),
//            m_help_engine->searchEngine(), SLOT(reindexDocumentation()));


and the time-stamp no longer change on the octave_interpreter.qhc file. 
Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to make the search work for the collection
file in a separate account.  Can you think of any other steps in the
QHelpEngine initialization process that would require one of those files to
need write permission?
