I agree that behaviour is unpleasant.

Maintaining the tbl implementation in the mandoc(1) toolbox, this is one of the rare cases where i decided to not follow GNU's lead and instead put the subsequent text on a new line after the table.

I admit i didn't try to write a patch to fix this in GNU roff, though...

I got the following report.

To reproduce, please try the following with using attached sample file.

% tbl sample.1 | troff -man -Tascii | grotty -c | less -s

I can see the line 'This is a Test' is overlapped, so we are using
to add one extra line after ".TE" to avoid this problem.
