[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #35187] the "help" command displays truncated help (words missing, etc)

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #35187 (project octave):

Thanks Mark for confirming the issue.

I looked at the files you mentioned and I see the same as you on the one
computer that has the problem (I will check the one that works to compare).

I did not find other file containing the string "Compute the inverse of the
square matrix A." either. I also tried to edit the octave.info-3 file but it
did not change anything. Actually, the problem is absent in the temporary
help-text file that is first created by __makeinfo__ (line 154)

In my case:
  C:Users...AppDataLocalTempoctave-help-zcUYaI'

at least when I look at it with Notepad++...

(and indeed if I add the option --html to the 'makeinfo' command, the text is
fine - although surrounded by html markup)

so the corrupted file that you noticed is not the one that is called when one
types help.

***

So the problem seems to come from the program:
  Octave3.4.3_gcc4.5.2mysybinmakeinfo.exe

or from some other program called by it...

But since it is an executable file, I don't know how to track this down now.
