summary:
[3.14] gh-125225: Fix column misalignment in help('topics') output (gh-125226)
(gh-134225)
The 'help("topics")' output was misaligned due to "ASSIGNMENTEXPRESSIONS"
exceeding the implicit maximum default column width of 19 characters.
Reduced the number of columns from 4 to 3 in the listtopics()
function to allow more space for longer topic names.
(cherry picked from commit b22460c44d1bc597c96d4a3d27ad8373d7952820)
