I can no longer recreate this problem. It must already be solved in the current releases. I tested with 5.2.1 with the following command and it appeared fine to me.

perl -le 'print "x" x 135;' | LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 pr -f -h "MYHEADER" -l 64 -W 135

Hello friends,

I think I've found a bug in the program "pr" of the
textutils version 2.0.10 (this is the version I currently use).

Whenever I format a text with it (including a header) then
the output of the header is exactly one space to wide.

Example:
--------
Suppose we have a textfile with all lines exactly 135 chars.
Then format the text with following command:

/usr/bin/pr -f -h "MYHEADER" -l 64 -W 135

The output shows the body of the formatted text with the
correct linelength, but the header has the length of 136 chars.

Maybe this happens because I'm german and the output is done
with german words --> the english word "Page" is in german "Seite".
And this is one char longer.
Could this be the reason?

I've found this behavior in all versions I used till now.

Hi Bob,

I can't see any details here.
Can you add some, or say that it's fixed in coreutlis-6.2?

Thanks,
Jim
