Follow-up Comment #1, bug #46914 (project groff):
You can see the bug in nroff output too; just edit the example input file to
change the line length from 2i to 38n. The terminal output from this (using
groff 1.23.0.rc1) is:
some text some text some text some
text some text some text some text
some text some text some text some
text some text
some centered text
some text some text some text some
text some text some text some text
some text some text some text some
text some text
quite a bit more centered text in this case
some text some text some text some
text some text some text some text
some text some text some text some
text some text
so, quite a bit more centered text in
this case
some text some text some text some
text some text some text some text
some text some text some text some
text some text
The line beginning with "quite," which spills over the right margin, is what
this bug was originally opened to report. But bug #60731 raises the question
of whether the actual bug above is in the output of the second or the third
.ce call. _One_ of them seems to be wrong, since they handle the same
situation (input longer than the requested output line) differently (one
breaking the line, one overflowing the line length).
