Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xterm
If a line has a tab character in the last column, xterm does not display
the tab.
To reproduce:
> python -c 'print "x"*79 + "\tABC"'
(Assuming that your terminal width is 80 characters.)
Expected behavior:
The terminal should display 79 "x"s and one tab character in the first line,
and the letters "ABC" in the continuation line.
Actual behavior:
The terminal displays 79 "x"s and the letter "A" in the first line, and the
letters "BC" in the continuation line. The tab character is lost.
I am using hardy (updated from a fresh install of gutsy) with xterm
229-1ubuntu1.
