This sounds like it was a bug in Texinfo that got fixed eventually.

These days, clicking the link in comment #0 takes me to an expanded table of contents page, which is closely analogous to what the command "info groff" brings up.  The main difference is that the table of contents is not recursively expanded in the latter.

I don't think our Texinfo manual changed, and if that's true, we didn't fix it.

Setting status to 'invalid'.

Ah, ok.  I've misunderstood your remark.  I've changed the status to `postponed'.

If I say `info', then following the `groff' hyperlink, I get to the main page of groff (node `Top').  Do you mean this?

Have you actually followed the hyperlink?

For groff 1.20.1, it seems to work correctly.

The main page of GNU Troff (Groff) Manual is the Index node.  It should be the Top node instead.
