surprising behavior in gnome help browser

[Allan Gottlieb <gottlieb research nj nec com>]

I am reading the user's guide on my laptop with the help browser.  I
make the browser narrow so enable an emacs to be visible as well.
This works until my mouse passes over a link at which point the
browser snaps back to its original width.

thanks for gnome-1.0,
