your proposal isn't fixing the problem, it just
hides it
I was waiting for someone to reply saying that because I see it
happening dozens of times in the list, but I guess it's better to
start sending a patch them never sending any.
At first I thought I would be hidding the problem too, but after
checking windows does the same (doesn't open anything because there's
no file) I thought it was fixed.
what seems (to be confirmed) to happen is that winhelp
should better support
secondary windows as 'glossary' (or have fallback for those) as it does for
primary window (called 'main') (or support defining window name when opening
a file)
From what I understood from the source what happens is
that
WINHELP_GetWindowInfo receives the parameter "glossary" as name and
hlpfile = NULL because the file was not found. So if the file was not
found there's nowhere to look for, and in this case there can't be any
fallback because it's a different file.
can you send me (in private) the relevant .hlp files
(main one and
glossary.hlp) I'll have a deeper look
