retitle 297524 dashes encoded wrongly in manpage thanks Julien Lamy <julien.lamy@ircad.u-strasbg.fr> 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 297524-done@bugs.debian.org. 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 copy&paste the line in question. Does it work then? TIA, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ.
