man just uses "groff -mandoc -Thtml" to do the rendering, and I can see the same problem if I run the page through that directly.  Could you please report this to the groff project instead, attaching the source file (probably /usr/share/man/man1/gcc.1.gz or similar) so that they can easily reproduce this?

(I'm sorry that I have to mark the bug as "Invalid" here; the Savannah bug tracker does not allow me to reassign a bug to a different project, which is what I really want to do.)

On updated Arch Linux, man version 2.6.5, man-db version 2.6.5-1.

Steps to reproduce:
1) man -Hfirefox gcc
2) scroll to the middle of the page
