I've opened the help (pressing F1) and cannot see the full text. I can see the problem on this help-page:
https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/var_basics.htm?dl=formatting-functions

Easier to explain, with screenshots:
First screenshot (text at the right is cut and no horizontal scrollbar available):
sc1.jpg

Second screenshot (text at the left is cut and no horizontal scrollbar available; I've moved "to the right" by marking text with the mouse):
sc2.jpg

I'm using Chrome. Both screenshots show very much white-space left and right (just to make clear that it is not my screen that is too narrow).

EDIT: Now I can see a horizontal scrollbar, but I had to scroll more or less to the bottom of tha page. Not sure if this is by design...

I know. Special case. No solution yet except for me rebuilding the entire page.
Since this only affects a few deeply nested items, it's on slow burn.

Ok, I thought there should be an easy solution by just adjusting some lines in a css-file.

I just noticed this on the variables pages as well and was going to report it but ran into this thread first.  Not a big deal of course, but it looks like a "quick fix" is to just reduce the overall font size a slight bit.  Makes the text smaller.. but it enables it to fit without the horizontal scroll bar:

Imatchhelp.css
  #content-container table {
      font-size: 93.5%;

I know. You need to scroll horizontally a bit (Shift+wheel) for some variable paragraphs.
It's because of all them nested tables, very long variable expressions which don't really wrap etc.

QuoteMakes the text smaller.. but it enables it to fit without the horizontal scroll bar:
Yeah. On your screen, with your default font size, screen DPI etc. Won't work everywhere the same I believe.

When I have a lot of free time on my hands, I will re-do the variables help topic using a different formatting.

Oh yeah.. forgot about the font size formatting per resolution, etc...  ;D
