Description of Problem: M-x man dispays control codes in addition to face changes when displaying manual pages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): emacs-21.2-17 For what it's worth, this happens in (null) with the current pretest release of emacs (21.2.90, still....) How Reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. M-x man RET ls RET Actual Results: You see something like this: LS(1) User Commands LS(1) NAME ls - list directory contents SYNOPSIS ls ^[[22m[^[[4mOPTION^[[24m]... [^[[4mFILE^[[24m]... Expected Results: You should see something closer to this: LS(1) FSF LS(1) NAME ls - list directory contents SYNOPSIS ls [OPTION]... [FILE]... Additional Information: I'm a bit confused as to what's causing this. Perhaps a change in groff output? I have not investigated it or reported it to bug-gnu-emacs (or the pretest list) because it appears to be a RedHat issue. This does not happen on RedHat 7.3. I don't think it happened on Limbo either because I'm sure I would have noticed it as I use M-x man often. (Both my Limbo systems are now running (null), so I can't check.) This happens even with LANG=C emacs -q --no-site-file so, at first glance, it does not appear to be locale-related. This does not happen with emacs 21.2.90 compiled on (null) and run on RedHat 7.3 (with /usr/lib nfs-mounted from a (null) system in its LD_LIBRARY_PATH). Please let me know if you need me to further investigate.
