When hitting F2, I just get a repeating dialog box (indefinitely?) with "Could not find a help provider for Text"

Actually it is not 100% fixed. I am reopening it.
I think i found the bug scenario.
Open a text file and a Perl 5 script.
Select the text file tab and press F2. You will get a message box telling you "Help Provider not found".
Now select the Perl 5 script and press F2, you will get "Reading items. Please wait" but not actually nothing is being done.

... or even easier:
Open padre with no documents. Press F2.
It will hang

...could you be more precise (OS, version) ?
Because it seems to work well on several configurations.

It's trawling the filesystem - not hung as such but the gui freezes. Leave it for a few minutes and see what happens. Subsequently opening helpsearch with F2 responds ... quicker.

Still, an action that hangs the program and prevents the user from using Padre for a couple of minutes should be considered broken.

Added your comments in a new ticket:872 "F2 context search freezes Padre when opening it for the first time"
Thank you.
