Hi Branden, I'm not sure if this is a groff(1) bug, or less(1), or who knows...
I've seen it sporadically, but when I tried to reproduce it, I didn't remember how I had triggered it, so I couldn't report it. Now I can consistently reproduce it.
I'd expect the issue to be in less(1), because of how I trigger it, but it's weird, because I can't reproduce it with mandoc and less, so I attribute it to groff(1) for the moment.
So, to trigger the bug, do the following potion: # I reproduced it in clone(2), installed from my git tree, # but I also reproduced it with the clone(2) from my system, # which hapens to be manpages-dev 5.13-1, so it should be easily # reproducible. $ man clone # Now have a look at the synopsis. # You'll notice (or actually not notice) no weird formatting, # because there isn't # Then, within less(1), search for 'flags' with /flags /flags # This should change the underscoring of some words after the match. # If you close and open again the man page, # you'll see the good formatting again. # If I run the following command, then I can't reproduce it, # which is why I suspect that it's a problem in groff(1). $ man -w clone | xargs mandoc | less /flags I'm running: $ groff --version GNU groff version 1.23.0.rc1.2366-0328 Cheers, Alex -- Alejandro Colomar <http://www.alejandro-colomar.es/>
