Follow-up Comment #8, bug #65077 (group groff):

Sure, but any request for a behavior change carries some element of advocacy.
It's just that some things being advocated require less justification than
others.  ("When I set the font size to 12 points, groff dumps core."  "OK, but
why do you think that should be changed?")

This case isn't _quite_ that obvious, but "don't ignore some basic user
requests after a display" seems a pretty reasonable ask--especially if it's
restoring historical (and not-obviously-buggy) behavior.  I don't think
addressing the problem described in bug #62688 requires ignoring these
requests as a side effect; that seems like a consequence of the
_implementation_ of 62688's solution, not a consequence inherent to a fix of
that problem.

I'll disclaim that I'm not an ms user, which could weight my opinion either
more (as an impartial outsider) or less (as someone ignorant of ms
conventions).
