Martin referred to this bug report from bug#17831, and I noticed
that instead of hard-coding the "*Help*" buffer name, better would be
to use (current-buffer) because the formatted buffer is current:
(- (if (window-live-p (get-buffer-window (current-buffer) t))
(with-selected-window (get-buffer-window (current-buffer) t)
(window-width))
(window-width))
(current-column))
