Follow-up Comment #3, bug #43532 (project groff):

For comparison, here is what mandoc does:


 $ mandoc 
.TH CosNotifyChannelAdmin_StructuredProxyPushSupplier 3erl "cosNotification
1.1.18" "Ericsson AB" "Erlang Module Definition"
CosNotifyChannelAdmin_StructuredProxyPushSupplier(3erl)
                                                      Erlang Module
Definition



Ericsson AB                 cosNotification 1.1.18
                      
CosNotifyChannelAdmin_StructuredProxyPushSupplier(3erl)
 $


Note that
* CosNotify... is left justified on line 1
* Erlang Module Definition   is right justified on line 2
* Ericsson AB   is left justified
* cosNotification 1.1.18   is centered
* CosNotify... is right justified on the last line

I did not inspect the patch yet.
