SumatraPDF doesn't show this old CHM file correctly #5624

Description

SumatraPDF version

  • 3.7.18446

Describe the bug
SumatraPDF opens the file, does not display any error messages or warnings, but I can only view the first pages of the chapters in this CHM file, it does not show subpages.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Unpack attached *.zip file to local hard disk and you will get a file named "ebook_Microsoft.Access.Projects.with.Microsoft.SQL.Server.chm".
  2. Open that CHM file on SumatraPFD.
  3. Make sure you only see 10 pages.
  4. Upload that CHM file to website https://products.groupdocs.app/viewer/chm
  5. The viewer opens it in a web browser.
  6. Compare the result in the program and in the web browser.

Expected behavior
However, the website
https://products.groupdocs.app/viewer/chm
shows that this file has 543 pages and can be flipped. So SumatraPDF should do the same.

File that reproduces the problem

ebook_Microsoft_Access_Projects_with_Microsoft_SQL_Server_chm.zip
