Description caolanm 2002-02-27 14:53:36 UTC

Input fields can contain tabs, and they are drawn and positioned correctly,
unless they are the last character in the field, in which case they are ignored.
A document to demoonstrate attached.

Ideally the tabstops would be honoured despite being the last character. The
attached patch makes it work, though whether it is fully correct or not is
another issue. 

If fields could contain a trailing tabstop, then an additional patch could be
used to fix a long outstanding msword list import layout issue. (in issue
blocked by this)

FME->CMC: Having a first look at your patch I am tempted to say that
the line "if(aNew.Len())" possibly could be deleted. Your patch for
issue 3233 look also quite good. But any changes here surely need more
than a first look. So I'll discuss this with AMA as soon as he's back.

cmc->fme: Most excellent. This issue is just to soften you up for the
other idea. If I can sell a chain of reasoning of, tabs in fields ok
-> tabs at end of fields ok -> numbering can have a tab at the end ok,
then my cunning master plan can take shape.

Comment 5 frank.meies 2002-03-11 07:42:55 UTC

There does not seem to be a special reason for not considering tab 
stops at the end of an input field.

FME->CMC: Do you agree if I set the target to OOo 2.0?

Comment 7 caolanm 2002-12-04 12:04:08 UTC

Ok by me... coward :-)

Comment 8 frank.meies 2003-09-15 14:18:37 UTC

FME: I also applied CMC's patch proposed for i3232.
