Yes, it fixes the first bug. But it doesn't fix one or more of the others.
I'm preparing a care package of examples right now. But my kid
wants me to play Pikmin. :-)

The last line of a right hand page should not end with a hyphen. This
has been a style rule for many years, yet it is amazing that most word
processors do not do this! I just smile when I pick up a book produced
with something like Frame and you immediately find these errors.
Needless to say, troff does this correctly, and has for 20+ years. A
friend commented to me that normal evolution would have gone Word to
Frame to troff, but instead, the computer industry has gone the other
way! -W. Richard Stevens, author of 7 popular technical books. [R.I.P.]
