Details:
A simple test case:
.Dd May 1, 2021
.Dt FOO 1
.Os
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Ql f ,
.Ql fo ,
.Ql foo ,
.Ql foo bar
mandoc (1.14.5/6) renders it as:
‘f’, ‘fo’, ‘foo’, ‘foo bar’
groff-devel/1.22.4 nroff also renders it as:
‘f’, ‘fo’, ‘foo’, ‘foo bar’
but groff-ditroff/PDF renders it like:
‘f’, ‘fo’, foo, foo bar
I've attached a patch that simply deletes this code-path in mdoc/doc-ditroff,
and the resultant output is as expected. I'm unsure if this is due to some
limitation in groff, but as someone who uses switches between mandoc (for
linting) and groff (for pretty pdfs), it can get slightly annoying (but only
slightly ;)).
