Update of bug#56015 (group groff):
Item Group: Incorrect behaviour => Rendering/Cosmetics
Status: Need Info => Confirmed
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #6:
Branden put this bug in Need Info status with comment #2, presumably based on
his stated need to research the history of the change cited in that comment.
That history was unveiled a couple months later in comment #3, and if any
further info is required, it's not clear what it is.
As comment #5 notes, the two ".if c" statements are useless in tty.tmac. But
these long predate the comment #2-referenced commit: the first dates back to
James Clark's creation of the file in
[http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=b04d345ed commit
b04d345ed] in 1992, and the second to Werner's
[http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=fbd6cbb8a commit
fbd6cbb8a] in Apr 2000. The comment #2-referenced commit merely wrapped these
conditionals in a further test for non-UTF8 terminals, the purpose of which I
think is clear from the associated email thread linked in comment #3. But
this additional test is not the source of the issue Jeff Conrad is reporting;
if anything, this additional test keeps that issue from being more widespread.
