Description Morten Welinder 2012-01-25 18:04:28 UTC 
When I type =h in A1, I get a list of function names.  I looks something like
this:

harmean :      harmonic mean
hdate :  Hebrew date
[etc]

Two issues:

1. The descriptions do not line up.  It appears that \t is being used
   instead of a table of some kind.

2. Colons?  We shouldn't have space in front of the colons in English,
   but I think it would be better to get rid of them entirely.

(after irc discussion)

We do have tabs setting code, but it appears that the layout from the
GtkLabel is being discarded.
Comment 2 Andreas J. Guelzow 2012-01-26 06:43:27 UTC 
Yes I notice that everything worked fine with GTK2 but the alignment problem occurs with GTK3.

The right solution for this situation is just to use a GtkTextView rather than a GTKLabel. GtkTextViews allow the tab stops to be set with gtk_text_view_set_tabs.

I will write a patch for this.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
