Strange layout in PDF with quotes


From: John Mandereau
Subject: Strange layout in PDF with quotes

Dear Texinfo hackers,

We LilyPond translators have found a serious layout problem in LilyPond
PDF manual, with Texinfo 4.9.  pdfetex/texinfo.tex seems to be sometimes
confused when formatting text with quotes:  much space is often left
around the quoted text, leading to overfull hboxes and a black rectangle
in worst case -- or, if I try to say it differently, line breaks occur
at wrong places.


Fortunately, I could trim down the problem to a small example (see
attached mini_es_sample.texi), taken from LilyPond Spanish manual.  If
you uncomment the @ignore'd paragraph, it looks even worse.  Log from
texi2pdf is below, and the PDF I get is at
http://john.mandereau.free.fr/mini_es_sample.pdf


FWIW, here are references of the bug in huge LilyPond manuals.  Page
numbers indications are "physical" pages numbers, i.e. those shown by
PDF viewer, not those printed on pages.
