Mine is similar; but after I have used my own patch for two days now, it is
actually convenient to use it as a source browser. Especially since you can
scroll it from the source window, and you can also click in the source code in
help buffer itself, C-h f or C-h o, and it will open under the mouse in the same
window and I can switch back and forward. It is almost in a way more convenient
than jumping in source files.
