Hi Alex, Is the subject line still accurate? I thought the problem we were chasing at this point was that all character attributes got shut off after the end of a highlighted match when using the pager to search for text in a man page. Regardless, I'm not able to reproduce _any_ misrendering. A

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
