Comment 2 Daniel Malmgren 2005-02-13 17:22:31 UTC 
I confirm this. It is really irritating. It's not always off by one
though, it sometimes gets off by more. It's like the outer left part
of the message window isn't redrawn like it should (?).
Comment 3 Daniel Malmgren 2005-02-14 17:21:32 UTC 
Played around a bit more today. It seems that I was right in my
suspicion, the text area isn't redrawn as it should. Scrolling down
the text area and then up again everything looks as it should.
Comment 4 Dave Malcolm 2005-02-14 17:33:41 UTC 
Many thanks for the updated information.

As a temporary workaround, I've been switching to HTML composition
mode (which doesn't have this bug) when composing replies, then
switching back to text mode before sending the mail (distasteful but
effective!)

Looks like this has been reported upstream here:
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=72516
Comment 5 Dave Malcolm 2005-02-14 18:35:05 UTC 
OK, it's tracked upstream here:
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=72399

It's been fixed in upstream CVS, so should be fixed in the next
tarball release.
Comment 6 Daniel Malmgren 2005-03-04 12:59:55 UTC 
Yep, this works fine now, after upgrading gtkhtml3 to 3.5.7. I guess
this bug could be closed now...

Resolving: fixed in Rawhide
