[Bug 14299] New: winhelp: Missing << and >> buttons with some help files

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14299

Summary: winhelp: Missing << and >> buttons with some help files
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P2
         Component: programs
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

For many help files, the forward and back buttons (<< and >>) are not shown in
Wine winhelp. However they do appear with other help files (e.g. pphelp.hlp).

For example, download winehelp_bugs.tar.bz2 from
  http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=14574
and load castle1.hlp, chess.hlp or emle.hlp into Wine winhelp.

Still present with wine-1.2-rc1-51-gab11102. All non-working helpfiles throw:

err:winhelp:HLPFILE_DoReadHlpFile buf[0x14] = 0

Some old, yet uncovered helpfile-version, it seems.

Patch to solve the issue sent:

http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2010-June/089567.html

The above mentioned err is a different issue with WINHELP30 files. I also have
a patch for that, but because it doesn't fix a bug and has a slight chance of
causing new regressions, I will post it after 1.2 is released.

I don't know if that patch is 100% correct. Since I cant compare against
windows. But It does make a difference. Without the patch I cant see << >>, but
with the patch they become visible and usable.

wine 1.9.2

Still in wine-2.5-52-g8b1737c0fd

Sometime the >>> appears then both <<< and >>> disappear for good after getting
clicked.
