I'm not so sure about that - I used meinproc to generate a set of .html pages 
for KPaint so I could look at them in Konqueror without involving KHelpCenter 
and the bug is still there. But, I have also noticed that if you are looking 
at a page which has a vertical scrollbar then the page also has a horizontal 
scrollbar, which shouldn't be necessary, and the rule seems to be:

 bug = (horizontal scrollbar present) ? false: true;

if you C what I mean :)
