Issue with HELP in V34

[Jay Sage]

When one selects the "by Name" option for commands, variables, or functions, there is a banner at the top with the letters of the alphabet. First, the last part of the alphabet is cut off. Second, and more importantly, one cannot click on those letters to just to the corresponding part of the list. Here's one example.

Can this be fixed?

Here v34.0.14 it works as desired:

Have you another scaling or so (not 100 %)?

 

[Jay Sage]

I just checked, and the scaling for my monitor is 100%.

When you click on one of the letters, does it take you to that section of the help?

In the v33 help the list of letters was not in the header but in the main help text.

All of those letters are links, hence the underlines (and only those letters for which there are entries are including (so 'J' is missing, for example).

No commands begin with Q? I've gotta think of a command beginning with Q, so I can request it for v35!

Here, the letters and ? are in the header, and are not clickable links.

Resize the help so A-Z appears (correctly) on two lines. Close the help and re-open it.

They don't look or act like links here, in v34.

 

[Jay Sage]

It wasn't so much the appearance that bothered me; it was the inability to jump, as in v33, to the section of interest. It can take quite a while to scroll down through all those commands.

Thanks. Can reproduce it now too this way.

But there are: QUERYBOX and QUIT!

It's that there are no internal variables that start with Q (or J). It should be pretty easy to come up with some. There are also no variable functions that start with K or Z.

Fixing this lack of features should clearly be one of Rex's most pressing tasks, don't you think!

The help file for build 17 has working letter links in help varnames. help functionnames and help commandnames still have the non-working links up in the header.
