Sun 26 Nov 2017 06:24:27 PM UTC, original submission:

I discovered this bug while replacing ".nh/.hy" pairs with "\%" in the
"contrib/groffer/groffer.1.man" file.

Backspaces can been seen in the output if it is piped though "od -tcx1".

Test file (hyphen.gro):

.pl 10
.\"ll 1n
.tm hyphenation at start is \n[.hy]
.hy 12
.tm Extent of hyphenation is (.hy) is \n[.hy]
.nr LL 10
.ll \n[LL]
.\".na
.while \n[LL]>0 \{\
.tm Line length is \n[LL]
www\~mode
.nr LL \n[LL]-1
.ll \n[LL]
.\}

Output is also in the attachment.

command line: test-groff hyphen.gro

Output (without backspaces):
