           Summary: winhelp.exe problem displaying help file, related to LF
                    / CR-LF end-of-line issue?
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.49.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-programs

Hi,

The winhelp.exe program supplied with Wine appears to have a problem displaying
parts of some help files correctly. This is perhaps due to failing to recognise
a linefeed (LF) as being equivalent to CR/LF?

Instead of moving to the beginning of the next line, the next line is displayed
below and to the right of the rightmost character of the previous line.
Furthermore, if the text would extend past the right window border, each
subsequent character is displayed on a new line.

For example, consider the following text (where | denotes the right border):
---
this is a test               | 
of the Wine winhelp          |
program.                     |
---
That would actually be displayed as something like:
---
this is a test               |
              of the Wine win|
                            h|
                            e|
                            l|
[etc.]
