In Wine 1.2rc3, one aspect of this bug has been fixed. Popups no longer
disappear immediately. However, they are still the wrong size, and there are
some other issues.

Some popups have scrollbars when none are needed because all the text fits into
the popup window. If you click one of the scrollbars they vanish. E.g. open
ONLCFG.HLP, click "How do I?" then "Letting your Intuit software..." then the
dial type popup link. Click one of the popup's scroll bars.

On clicking a link in a popup, sometimes another popup appears with the
destination page. It is possible to get several "nested" popups showing at
once, with no way to close them. The correct behaviour should be that the popup
closes and the main window shows the destination.

To demonstrate, open ONLCFG.HLP. Click "How do I?" and "Letting your Intuit
software...". Click "Tell me more". In the popup which opens, click any link. A
second popup opens over the first one. It it possible to continue that process,
ending up with many nested popups. The popups cannot be closed without exiting
winhlp32.

On playing around with nesting popups and then clicking in the main window, I
was able to crash winhlp32. I don't have an exact list of steps to accomplish
that, though it is fairly easy to do. I will attach the console output.
