I will ask again that you please post specific example input, along with what output you saw in groff 1.22.3 and what is different in 1.22.4. I ran the test before making my statement, verifying that it's true. It is, however, locale-dependent: $ groff --version | head -1 GNU groff version 1.19.2 $ echo $LC_CTYPE C $ nroff <<< go-to | cat -s | hexdump -C 00000000 67 6f 2d 74 6f 0a 0a |go-to..| 00000007 $ LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 $ nroff <<< go-to | cat -s | hexdump -C 00000000 67 6f e2 80 90 74 6f 0a 0a |go...to..| 00000009 Did you change your system's locale settings around the same time you upgraded your groff installation? You might be seeing a change from one and attributing it to the other.
