If not, and if the stackexchange questions aren't clear enough, can you point me to where and how I should make formal bug reports? John.

[1] https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/ Instead, 'watch' is part of the 'procps' package (at least least on my system), so you're better off asking on their mailing list, bug tracker, or whatever they are using [2][3]. [2] https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps [3] https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/blob/master/Documentation/bugs.md I'm therefore marking this as "not a bug" + "closed" in our bug tracker.
