Follow-up Comment #1, bug #66977 (group groff): I've always presumed this to be intentional. By invoking .nf, the user is saying she wants the output line layout to match the input one. This implies all consequences that come along with that, one of which is that the right margin may be ignored. Heirloom works the same way, as I presume its AT&T progenitors do. This ticket is asking for a warning to be emitted when groff does exactly as the user asks.
Generating such a warning is possible in macro space: the thread starting at http://lists.gnu.org/r/groff/2015-12/msg00049.html offers some different ideas for different situations. No one in that thread lamented groff's own lack of warning, implying I'm not alone in my presumption that it's intentional. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?66977> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
