Hi team,

we have a long standing bug:

 - was there in 0.13.0

 - was there in 0.13.1

 - still there in trunk

It's the "Help" on GMM in scumm games (eg.
indy4, samnmax, etc.) running @ 320x200.

If we are really heading to 1.0 we should
not leave a bug, where if the user choose
"help" instead of "option" (very easy when
you are navigating with a joypad from your
sofa...), will just lose everything. Crash!

Widget <ScummHelp.Close> has y > 200!
Error: assertion `isValidRect()' failed in ../../../common/rect.h:

It affects most backends running @ 320x200.

Max, IIRC you were able to reproduce this
in the past (both PS2 gfx configuration on
SDL and the crash) could you please help?

Still on this topic, the only "scumm" game
where you can choose 'help' is comi (which
runs @ 640x480 on PS2) - here the help dlg
shows up, but when compared to 0.12.0, the
text looks all crunched toward the top, as
if the spacing between lines was reduced.

Any idea?

Thanks!
