In Python 3.7.0 on Windows the help file (python370.chm) displays with

to fit the horizontal width of the help window.
Is this a deliberate change or one that can be turned on or off in some
way (I prefer the Python 3.6 behaviour)?
I believe that this is a deliberate regression imposed by 'experts' who
believe in form over function and 'controlling the user experience'.
3.6.6 has been 'fixated' also.
I think that's been reverted:

Yes, I wrote the blurb, merged it, and ordered and approved the backports.
