From de902f8cefeb40a5b1d7dcfaccebcb7ee35ceea0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?=C3=89tienne=20Pelletier?= Date: Mon, 19 May 2025 10:10:17 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] gh-125225: Fix column misalignment in help('topics') output (gh-125226) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The 'help("topics")' output was misaligned due to "ASSIGNMENTEXPRESSIONS" exceeding the implicit maximum default column width of 19 characters. Reduced the number of columns from 4 to 3 in the listtopics() function to allow more space for longer topic names.
