Re: 1.5.22: Man pages show escape codes

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for fixing this, I'd appreciate it! Attached is the output from cygcheck.

I ran into this problem today, too -- I'm not sure what changed (updated man package?), but I've long had the following in my ~/.bashrc:


export PAGER=less

It seems that now, this environment variable overrides the setting in /usr/share/misc/man.conf:

PAGER=less -isrR

I fixed the problem by (1) leaving the PAGER setting in ~/.bashrc, but (2) ALSO setting MANPAGER in ~/.bashrc

export MANPAGER='less -isrR'
