Package: tmux
Version: 3.3a-4
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: dep...@depesz.com

manual to tmux has - characters (0x2d) changed to unicode "hyphen"
(\xe2\x80\x90), which makes searching for commands, in man, impossible.

Example:

one of tmux commands is move-window. You can see it by doing:
man tmux | grep move.*window.*src
but you can't in normal `man tmux` by doinug search for move-window, or
by grepping for move-window:
=$ man tmux | grep -c move-window
0

Same problem is with any other minus-including commands.

This is somehow related to unicode locale, as when I do LC_ALL=C - the
problem is gone. But I need normal unicode support!

I found this: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1041731
which seems related, and even tried to contact tmux maintainers
(https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/3653) but they seem adamant that
the breakage is in debian...

Best regards,

depesz
