[cobalt-users] [Qube2] Qube2-all-security-6682.pkg



The screen display with MAN has changed since installing the Qube2-6682.pkg.
For example, if one does a MAN proftpd and looks at the screen display after
formatting, some reverse video characters are showing up in the text. E.g.,


       -n,--nodaemon
                   Runs the proftpd process  in  standalone  mode
                   (must  be configured as such in the configura<AD>
                   tion file), but does not background  the  pro<AD>
                   cess  or  disassociate it from the controlling
                   tty.  Additionally, all output (log  or  debug
                   messages)  are sent to stdout, rather than the
                   syslog mechanism.  Most often used with the -d
                   option for debugging.

The <AD> shows up on my screen in reverse video.

The source code for the text looks like:

.B \-n,\--nodaemon
Runs the proftpd process in standalone mode (must be configured as such in
the configuration file), but does not background the process or
disassociate it from the controlling tty.  Additionally, all output (log
or debug messages) are sent to stdout, rather than the syslog mechanism. 
Most often used with the \fB-d option\fP for debugging. 
.TP

Evidently, the patches to Man are causing the formatting to work incorrectly
when the line has to be broken during line wrap. 

Any way to fix this?
