Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
more displays man pages incorrectly on the vt100-nav terminal. Spaces between regular and highlighted words are missing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
util-linux-2.23.2-21.el7

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set terminal type to vt100-nav
TERM='vt100-nav'
2. view some man page using 'more' as the pager
man -P more man

Actual results:
more doesn't display spaces between regular and highlighted words. The attachment contains an example screenshot.

Expected results:
The man page is correctly displayed, without spaces missing.

Additional info:
This should not be a bug in 'man' because when using 'less' as the pager, the described problem does not occur. Also, the same problem has already been reported for 'less', see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=136266

Hmm... I'm not able to reproduce the problem (more(1) from RHEL7.2 on Fedora + gnome-terminal or xterm).

I can still reproduce it on RHEL7.2 using gnome-terminal. I would try that in a virtual machine, maybe the problem is not tied to 'more' itself, maybe it's some library that comes in a newer version on Fedora. I don't know :)

Can we close this issue? It does not seem like critical enough to fix it in RHEL-7 update,

Yes, no problem. However, it might be worth it cloning it to Fedora or even RHEL-8 - if I remember correctly, it was a failing internal (manual) test case that led me to file this bug.

After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.
