It is not specific to NetBeans IDE. It is JavaHelp problem. Run idedemo from demos in JavaHelp. It does the same (Linux. Gnome, JDK 1.5.0_07, JH 2.0_02). Pressing space on focused Back button is ignored. Please file bug to Bugtraq against JavaHelp.
In IDE help described that this should work. (See "Help Viewer Shortcuts" topic)
Will you file bug against JavaHelp? If not I will do it. Please let me know. Thanks
