When the code samples from the CHM documentation are displayed, if the lines are too long, a scroll bar is added at the bottom which prevents reading the last line of the code sample.

Usually this can be worked-around by making the windows larger, but some examples in the documentation of the argparse are so wide that even in full screen, the window is not wide enough.

I attached a screen capture to illustrate the issue (taken from section 14.4.3.3. nargs of Python 3.2b2). This is even worth with one-liner code sample when not browsing full screen (e.g. with the index on the side).

Environment: Windows XP SP3, resolution: 1024x768, python 3.2b2.

I don't know if it is possible, but adding a blank line at the end of code sample that are more than 80 characters wide would likely work-around the issue.
