Help menu item is not clickable

Description of problem:
The "Help..." option in the menu is not clickable for the following panel types:
1) Filter & Drill-down
2) Bread crumb


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build application from sources on github and start quickstart demo using buildandrun_h2.sh as described in readme.
2. Login with root
3. To see the problem with Breadcrumb go for example to "Sample dashboards" page and click on the oprions icon (gearwheel in the top-right corner of the panel) for panel "Administration (Breadcrumb)" - you'll see "Help" item in the menu, but it is not clickable
4. To se the problem with Filter & Drill-down (also known as "Dashboard filter") go for example to jBPM dashboard and check the options menu of "Dashboard filter" - same as in step 3.

Actual results:
The "Help..." item in the panel's options menu is present, but not clickable - doesn't do anything.

Expected results:
Either
1) the "Help..." item should be removed for the mentioned panel types,
 OR
2) a few lines of Help information for the user should be written and displayed in a Modal dialog, as is the case for all the oter panel types. In my opinion, this option is preferable, to provide consisten user experience.

Especially for panel "Dashboard filter", which mediates the key function of the application (i.e. Drill down of data) some help for users is essential.
