Package: xpdf-reader Version: 3.00-14 Severity: normal *** Please type your report below this line *** Hi!
Manpage of xpdf will be shown only partly, last line of manpage viewer
shows:
"Manual page xpdf.1 line 117/155 (END)"
The problem seems to be that \' will be not interpreted as
an quoted apostrophe but as an escape sequence (ASCII character 0x27).
(Please see groff manual.)
Attached patch removes backslashes before apostrophes and ensures, that
an apostrophe is not the first character in a line.
Please consider to apply it after further testing.
Kindly regads,
Erik Schanze
