Unable to reproduce this bug with the instructions given on any Fedora machine I have access to. Scrolling with the pager works as expected. And if there is a problem with this person's machine, the bug should be filed under the component 'less', the pager for man, not man itself, because that's what's displaying the man page and taking his spacebar input. The same crash happens with ... man -P more ls man -P cat ls That would suggest it is not a pager issue, but something about man is going nutty. I noticed this after up2dating the system, though I don't recall whether this was an issue before up2dating. Note, the system is an older pentium system - which means its running a more 'basic' kernel, yes? Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I'm still not able to reproduce
this bug using the instructions given on any of the Fedora machines in
house. They work.
The only thing I can think of is: 1) are you running in an unusual
(defined as non-UTF-8) locale? ("locale" at the command line returning
an Eastern Europe [ISO-8859-2] etc). 2) have you attempted to change
your encoding charset from the supported UTF-8 to something not/no
longer supported (ISO-8859-1 aka Latin-1, ISO-8859-15, etc)
P.S. We don't need a dump of every RPM on the system-- simply put the
version of man in the "Version-Release number of selected component
(if applicable)" section and perhaps the version of the pager and any
components that man touches (gotten through ldd). I appreciate the
attempt at thoroughness, but it's a little overkill. ;)
