Blender Version
Broken: 2.80 and later
Worked: Never

Short description of error
When opening a popup menu such as {key Ctrl E} in edit mode, it is not possible to open the online manual through {key RMB} > Online Manual or {key F1}.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Switch to edit mode.
Press {key Ctrl E}.
Right click on any of the menu entries.
Select Online Manual.

The browser doesn't open. You can repeat the same through the regular menu Edge in the 3D viewport and the manual will open.

This is working fine here.

Just to make sure:
Please try with File → Defaults → Load Factory Settings to see if you still can reproduce this issue.

Works fine on Windows and Linux for me. I would also suggest you start Blender from the terminal and check if any error messages are printed to it.

It still reproes with factory settings. I don't see anything related in the output of blender --debug-all --verbose.
It actually seems to be the case with any context window shown in the main viewport (e.g. W -> Subdivide -> Right Click -> Online Manual does nothing).
I can open the online manual in other places, e.g. Object Properties -> Location X -> Right Click -> Online Manual opens up https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/2.91/scene_layout/object/properties/transforms.html#bpy-types-object-location in my browser.

That was the missing piece of information. It can confirm that it doesn't work in popup menus. The regular menus work fine and this only affects the Online Manual, not the Online Python Reference.
