Follow-up Comment #4, bug #60260 (group groff):

Sorry, I'll read (write) that again (my "verbatim" tags were maladjusted)...

We have a compatibility issue here.

Exhibit:


.ie \nA .tm line \n(.c, A=\nA
.el .ie \nB .tm line \n(.c, B=\nB
.el .tm line \n(.c, A=\nA, B=\nB
.el .tm line \n(.c, A=\nA, B=\nB
.el .tm line \n(.c, A=\nA, B=\nB


All of Unix V7 nroff and troff, DWB nroff, and Heirloom nroff produce the
following output.


$ nroff ie.roff
line 2, A=0, B=0


But then...


$ ~/groff-1.22.3/bin/nroff -ww -rA0 -rB0 ./EXPERIMENTS/ie.roff 
line 3, A=0, B=0
./EXPERIMENTS/ie.roff:4: warning: unbalanced .el request
./EXPERIMENTS/ie.roff:5: warning: unbalanced .el request


_groff_ 1.22.4, 1.23.0, and Git HEAD behave the same.

See also bug #65474 and bug #59434.  These are related but distinct and none
needs to be closed as a duplicate.
