[Bug 1096235] Re: selecting a line that begins with <tab> char messes up screen

 

Tabs cannot be represented in a useful way in MUD clients and are thus
explicitly not handled and should not be used by MUDs. Users can easily
use regex triggers to replace tabs by an appropiate amount of spaces.
Note, this is not  a bug.

Title:
  selecting a line that begins with <tab> char messes up screen

Status in Mudlet the MUD client:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Likes received from MUD that begin with <tab> character (like, multiple lines aligned with tabulator) render correctly.
  But selecting them messes up the screen:
  each tab character is selected as it would be 1 char width (and not 8 chars as it is rendered) and rest of text that follows is shifted left.

  Mudlet ver: 2.0
  OS: Win 7
