           Summary: winhelp: Popups disappear immediately and are the
                    wrong size

          Platform: x86

ONLCFG.HLP compressed with bzip2

Links in help files which open pop-ups are broken in Wine winhlp32. (These
links typically appear in green with a dotted underline.)

What should happen: the popup appears when the link is clicked, and remains
present when the user releases the mouse button.

What actually happens: the popup appears, but vanishes when the user releases
the mouse button. The popup is the wrong size, and has scrollbars on the right
and bottom edges. (It's impossible to use the scrollbars since the popup
disappears when the button is released.) Some popups have text missing.

Example:
Open the attached ONLCFG.HLP file in Wine winhlp32. Click "How do I?". Click
"Letting your Intuit software ...". Click each of the underlined links: dial
type, dialing prefix and disable call waiting. Notice there is no text other
than the heading in the dialing prefix and disable call waiting popups. Click
Tell me more. The popup which appears contains links to other pages in the help
file, but it's impossible to select them due to the popup vanishing on mouse
release.

Compare with using winhlp32.exe from Windows under Wine to view that file.
