Bug Description
to reproduce open terminator in lxde and resize the window such that it is 80x24 characters as shown in the red bar and run man eom. scroll down in the terminal until examples is visible under the text "eom -s /usr/share/
The line stating" Open the images in the directory " has many spaces between the words and looks ugly. as shown in the screenshot. in the window on the upper left.

Description: Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
Release: 15.04
I expected the manpage to read like normal text like most other manpages and not change spacing magically for certain terminal sizes. Instead 80x24 the default size terminator opens when I run it in lubuntu shows wierd spacing.

It is best to report it upstream, at the link mentioned in the manpage, if you haven't already: /github. com/mate- desktop/ eom/issues
https:/
The issue is just how the eom man page is formatted. Plus there you could always issue a pull request and supply a corrected /usr/share/ man/man1/ eom.1.gz
See attachment example.
