Description Malcolm Hunter 2002-09-22 00:37:53 UTC 
Version:           0.8 (using KDE 3.0.8 (KDE 3.1 beta2))
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-110)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-3

From KHelpCenter itself or help:/ in Konqueror, go to KPaint Introcuction page (help:/kpaint/intro.html). Click the bottom 'Next' hyperlink - the contents of the window shifts to the left.

Also, resizing the window makes the scrollbars appear and disappear at random.

I have seen that too. I clicked the bugs.kde.org link in the kmail faq 
(help:/kmail/faq.html) and it resized the HTML widget to three times 
my monitor resolution.

CVS commit by raabe: 

- Don't allow the KHelpCenter window to grow larger than the desktop; I think
  this allows us to close BR48140 as well which (given the hint that the
  KPaint intro page breaks in both Konqueror and KHelpCenter) is either a
  khtml or a kio_help glitch.
  I cannot reproduce that myself with KDE 3.1.1a and KDE_3_1_BRANCH though,
  and this patch makes sure that KHelpCenter doesn't go crazy no matter what
  wacky HTML kio_help delivers.
