Description Ralf Haferkamp 2004-12-18 00:14:29 UTC 
My KMail is configured to wrap lines after at the 78th column. But when I start
a line with a Tab it seems to count the Tab only as one character (instead of 8)
and the line is wrapped after 86 characters. 
(Funny enough in the status bar where the actual column is displayed a Tab
character seems to be counted correctly).

<!-- SBZ_reproduce  -->
Start KMail, set automatic line wrapping to wrap after 78 columns, enter a line
that starts with a tab, continue to type in words as long as the line is wrapped.

Bug still exists in 9.3 beta3 - updating product and version.
Comment 3 Christian Boltz 2005-12-22 21:59:16 UTC 
I just reproduced the problem with KDE 3.5 (KMail 1.9.1) from supplementary on SUSE 10.0.

Since this KDE version is also used in current alpha, I will set product and version to 10.1 alpha - I guess the bug is also present there.

I missed the second birthday of this bug ;-) so I'll wish a happy new year instead *g*

(read: still reproducable in 10.2 final)

Reflecting reality, please track this bug upstream - I'm not going to fix it :(.
