RT 111388: B<bold pod text> stops working when lines are folded (using perlfunc)

[briandfoy]

--Transferred from https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127338 -- jkeenan

This is a bug report for perl from jim.avera@gmail.com, generated with the help of perlbug 1.40 running under perl 5.20.2. -----------------------------------------------------------------

If POD contains B and the string ends up being split across multiple lines, the emboldening stops happening at the end of the first line.

This may be a bug in 'perldoc' or something else, not sure.

I'm running Ubuntu 15.10. I tried both gnome_terminal and xterm and the problem shows in both.

Please save the following [attached as 127338-bold.pod] and run "perldoc " to see.

This is also Perl/perl5#15141

I haven't been able to reproduce this with the latest version. term and man seem to do the right thing. I've added the t/issues/gh-56-1.t test for this.

I know this issue is really old, but if it reappears or other details emerge, we can re-open this issue.
