I also use this line for testing man page edits. It will be a very
sad thing if it's been broken in 9.0.

I'm guessing this relates to nroff/groff tweaks, but I was a bit

render man pages while editing them (nroff -mandoc foo.1 | more) no
longer works (output below).
It seems likely this has to do with teaching groff to use ANSI
escape codes that more, by default, rejects. I'm aware there are
lots of other command lines I could use, but it seems unfortunate
that this is broken -- possibly more should accept more escape codes
in its default configuration, or nroff should generate fewer of them?
(I'd love to see this fixed for 9.0)
