Package: emacs21
Version: 21.3+1-8
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/emacs21-x


Try opening a man page such as Tcl_FSRegister (tcl8.4-docs or -dev)
via M-x man

The text is not wrapped correctly - it is necessary to make the window
much larger horizontally to accomodate all the text.

In emacs:

       Tcl_Filesystem   *fsPtr   (in)      Points to a structure
       containing the addresses of  pro-
                                           cedures  that  can  be
       called  to  perform the various
                                           filesystem operations.


With the console man command:

       Tcl_Filesystem   *fsPtr   (in)      Points to a structure
                                           containing the addresses of
                                           procedures that can be
                                           called to perform the vari-
                                           ous filesystem operations.

The layout fits on the available screen size very nicely.

Thanks,
Dave

According to previous comments, this was fixed some years ago.
