Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Yes. On win 7, html help control 6.1, the horizontal scroll bar is still put in or on top of the box, but it is thinner so it only cuts off half of the bottom line instead of hiding it completely. There is no longer a vertical scroll bar, which means one can o

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Same path to python31.chm. I presume color difference is due to difference selections in Display Properties / Appearance tab. When I left- or right-click on upper-left icon as depicted in screen capture, choices are move, resize, , close, About HTML Help. N

Ezio Melotti added the comment: This is what I see here (see attached image). The only scrollbar is the one at the bottom for the whole page. The file is under Start -> Programs -> Python 3.1 -> Python Manuals, and the path/file is C:\Programs\Python31\Doc\python31.chm (you can see it right-clic

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: The lines in the green box do not have to be long in an absolute sense, just longer than the current window width allows. As soon as the the window is narrow enough to require a horizontal scroll bar, a vertical scroll bar is added too because the horizonal scro

Ezio Melotti added the comment: It's probably better to split long lines (at 80 chars?) than adding an empty line in every box. Scrolling horizontally is annoying enough even without the problem you mentioned. I don't know if it's possible to split grammar lines like id_start/id_continue[1], bu
