Hi Branden,

I don't understand what you mean by "misconfigured hotspots". Your push for 
#65233 fixed the problem of .MT following a .TP turning off all further .MT's 
(because you were unsetting the an*do-hyperlink flag which affected all 
further .MT's).

This email thread mentioned the "PDF hyperlinks working in Evice and xpdf but 
not Okular" email you sent earlier, and my screenshot shows the links working 
in okular using the groff_man_pages.pdf in your drop box, which you asked 
people to test. In fact I have tested with these viewers - okular, evince, 
mupdf-gl, qpdfview, atril, firefox, chromium and xpdf - all allowed me to 
click on the coloured hotlink.

As far as okular is concerned, there was a problem with okular actioning hot 
links if okular was reading from stdin rather than a file, see https://
bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=472440, but it is fixed now.

Cheers
