(I originally posted this as part of a message to vim-support, but I'm
reposting this part here as I believe it's a bug in either the documentation or
the implementation.)
In the help for the 'help' command it states the following:
-----8<--------8<--------------------8<--------8<--------------------8<-------
:h[elp] Open a window and display the help file in read-only
mode. If there is a help window open already, use
that one. Otherwise, if the current window uses the
full width of the screen or is at least 80 characters
wide, the help window will appear just above the
current window. Otherwise the new window is put at
the very top.
-----8<--------8<--------------------8<--------8<--------------------8<-------
However, I have the 'splitbelow' option set and my help windows always
open below the current window. This is consistent with the help for
'splitbelow' but not for the help for 'help'. Is this a bug in the help
or the behaviour of 'help' when splitbelow is set?
