Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

If a line has a tab character in the last column, gnome-terminal 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
2.22.1-0ubuntu2.

*This may not be a bug in gnome-terminal* - xterm shows the same
behavior.
