Sorry for that wrong bug report : it only happens when I copy-paste the file-line-error-style option from the man page, and _does_not_ happen when I type it directly. That's what I get for being lazy :-) Can you please close this bug ? Nevertheless, thanks to Hilmar Preusse and Frank Kster for their input. -- Julien Lamy

retitle 297524 dashes encoded wrongly in manpage thanks Julien Lamy [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb: Sorry for that wrong bug report : it only happens when I copy-paste the file-line-error-style option from the man page, and _does_not_ happen when I type it directly. That's what I get for being lazy :-) Ah, that is for sure a question of the utf locale. Can you please close this bug ? You could have done it yourself, by sending mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, I think there still *is* a bug: Copy-and-paste from the manpage should give an ordinary ascii dash, not those unicode dashes. One part of the bug is probably in the manpages; the pager used to view them might also be involved. Can you please try it with the manpages I attach? Look at them with man -l double.man and man -l all.man, respectively, and copypaste the line in question. Does it work then? TIA, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ.

This means we should replace *all* plain dashes in all manpages by troff-escaped dashes (\-). In the double.man file, I only replaced the first two, because I remembered faintly that dashes within a word were not problematic. Regards, Frank -- Frank Kster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ.
