Thanks, I can confirm that these are fixed in the latest nightly.
However, I think I've uncovered one more issue w/ the help system.

In the Package Manager window selecting a package displays the help
index.  *I think*, in previous versions, clicking on a function name
would take you to it's help page.   In the nightly version, nothing
happens.

I hope I've described it clearly enough to reproduce.
