Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 271312

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Jan Bromberger]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041122 Firefox/1.0

When the mail header's subject line is wrapped and the following line is
intended (?) with a tab char, it is drawn as a black rectangle. When a space
char is used for intendation, this is not the case.

Subject: [Diplomacy] [SVN] [r52]
	DiplomacyServer/src/java/de/lmu/ifi/stud/proj/diplomacy

Subject: [Diplomacy] [SVN] [r52]
 DiplomacyServer/src/java/de/lmu/ifi/stud/proj/diplomacy

This is only the case in the mail list. When I open the mail the tab is
displayed as a tab. As the tab is not to be displayed, both is wrong. :)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I had the problem first, with mails from a mailing list where a suffix was
added. When Thunderbird sends a mail that is too long, it seems to use space for
intendation. But if the subject of the original message was in bounds but with
the suffix it was too long and the list server wraped the line with a tab, ...
Actual Results:  
[Diplomacy] [SVN-test] [r52]	DiplomacyServer/src/java/de/lmu/ifi/stud/proj/diplomacy

or

[Diplomacy] [SVN-test] [r52] RECTANGLE
DiplomacyServer/src/java/de/lmu/ifi/stud/proj/diplomacy

Expected Results:  
[Diplomacy] [SVN-test] [r52] DiplomacyServer/src/java/de/lmu/ifi/stud/proj/diplomacy
