Hmm. I agree that this particular case is unfortunate. But I don't really want to turn off hyphenation globally, and there's no reasonable way to disable it just for a single section. Individual pages can do this by putting .nh / .hy requests around the region where they want hyphenation to be disabled, or you can set MANOPT=--no-hyphenation if you prefer this behaviour across the board. I'll leave this bug open as I agree that it's not ideal behaviour, but I have no immediate ideas for solving it without changes that I'd rather not make. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org]
