Subject: bug#30908: woman2-roff-buffer fails to restore set-text-properties, etc. on error 
Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2018 18:12:49 +0000

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: emacs
Version: 25.1.1
Tags: patch

	The woman2-roff-buffer function uses unwind-protect to restore
	the canonically-space-region, insert-and-inherit and
	set-text-properties functions it temporarily overrides.

	Unfortunately, the first thing (conditionally) called in the
	‘unwind’ branch is the woman2-format-paragraphs function, which
	may result in error, thus precluding said restoration, leading to:

set-text-properties is an alias for ‘ignore’.

(set-text-properties &rest IGNORE)

Do nothing and return nil.
This function accepts any number of arguments, but ignores them.

	Please thus consider the patch MIMEd.
