Bug 334380

The problem here is that the documentation window content is not in sync with this documentation dialog. After closing the doc dialog the documentation window overwrites the widgets documentation.

The question is if we really need this additional documentation dialog ? 
We already have the documentation window, which - on a note widget double click - simply needs 
- to be set visible if not before, 
- to be focused and 
- the cursor placed into the edit field 

That would solve all this problems.

Sounds good to me - simpler yet better.

If you have a lot of objects in your diagram you can simply click on the objects to see the documentation. That's much simpler than double clicking on an object and closing the dialog window again, which also hides your diagram.

I have the hope, that this bug can be fixed maybe with a signal/slot mechanism. 

Do not remove a good feature

I was not voting to remove the documentation window!
On the contrary, I was voting to remove the extra popup dialog on double clicking on a note widget, and updating the doc window instead.

The problem is not bound to note widgets. It happens for *any* widget editing through the property window.
