suggestion: indicate that more help is available #17

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. open the on-screen help
2. not all help text is visible

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

the on-screen help overlay has neither a slidebar nor top and bottom arrows (or 
carets) to indicate that there is help text available outside what can be seen.

It'd be nice if there were an explicit indication that more is available. Right 
now it's an "easter egg hunt" for a novice to discover that one can scroll the 
help text. It might not even be noticed that more is available if the text 
changes so that the bottom line isn't partially cut off.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

SVN revision #317 adds arrows that appear at the top and bottom of the help 
window when there is additional content that's out of view.
