Whatever happened to this thread and the associated bugs: #876, #1117, #1284? It sounds like there were alternative proposals about how to fix this, but there was no discussion to try to reach a consensus or a decision. Is that where things were left? Meanwhile, it's still impossible to use the index in Info manuals on Windows, and it's impossible to use some manuals (e.g. Viper) at all.
