I don't know if this has been reported before - it's a bug that I've
become so used to that I almost don't notice myself working around it
any more...
Typing:
M-x woman RET ssh RET
should display the 'ssh' man page, but instead I see only parts of it,
strangely formatted. I just noticed myself switching to an xterm to
run "man ssh", where the page displays properly.
In the xterm I see:
SSH(1) BSD General Commands Manual SSH(1)
NAME
ssh - OpenSSH SSH client (remote login program)
SYNOPSIS
ssh [-1246AaCfgKkMNnqsTtVvXxY] [-b bind_address]
and so on, whereas in the *WoMan 1 ssh* buffer I see:
(SSH client) is a program for logging into a remote machine and
for executing commands on a remote machine. It is intended to
replace rlogin and rsh, and provide secure encrypted [...]
that's how the buffer starts - no title, name, synopsis, etc. Further
down the buffer I see:
If
is specified, it is executed on the remote host instead of a
login shell.
the xterm version has the word 'command' in there, between 'if' and
'is', which makes more sense.
This is on debian unstable, but I'm pretty sure I've seen the same on
a variety of other systems too.
