On 07 Mar 2009 in http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=2588#60 Stefan said: We could try to fix this: I think it would actually be desirable to pop up the frame immediately and then asynchronously fill it as man's output comes in. On 11 Jan 2010 I posted a patch that implements asynchronous formatting in the immediately displayed Man buffer in http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=5054#76 (see subthread with the subject "Man truncated", please don't merge bug#5054 because its initial report was about a different problem). Is it time to install this patch now? It fixes the problem with wrong widths in a new window/frame. Though it doesn't implement formatting on the fly from the process-filter, but maybe this could be implemented later in 24.2?
