Description Runar Ingebrigtsen 2006-03-17 12:55:01 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Using TAB in compose shows a box when the "TAB" space should be only white.

Steps to reproduce:
1. New Email
2. Push <TAB>
3. Look at the <tab>-space


Actual results:
The tab space contains a box at the beginning.

Expected results:
The tab space should be empty (white).

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
Evolution 2.6 is awesome.

Comment 4 Jeff Cai 2006-03-21 08:51:17 UTC 
I use gtkhtml/components/html-editor/test_editor to test it.
I download PANGO 1.12 for gnome 2.14 and PANGO 1.10 for gnome 2.10 separtely. test_editor works well on pango 1.10 while not pango 1.12. So we can this is a bug of pango.
Do we need to forward this bug to pango?
Comment 5 André Klapper 2006-03-25 13:36:05 UTC 
adding pango-maint to cc, as we would like to have some input on this. thanks in advance.
Comment 6 Behdad Esfahbod 2006-03-25 16:10:04 UTC 
Ah Ok, so you are using Pango's backend engine internals... sigh.

Something has changed during the 1.12 developmental cycle, and that is the glyph representation of an empty box.  gnome-print was affected too, and the patch for it really simple, it's attachment #60192 [details].  The relevant discussion is in bug 330907.  Hope this helps.

Comment 8 Sebastien Bacher 2006-05-07 13:24:34 UTC 
Still happening with GNOME 2.14.1. Could the priority be increased? That's a little detail but really visible for users, you can't use TAB with text mails without having a box displayed to your mail...

Comment 10 André Klapper 2006-05-10 20:46:54 UTC
