Huh, you're right. But it's displayed correctly... Hm, if the line begins with space, extra space is added. Upstream bug - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141983 (In reply to comment #1) > Huh, you're right. But it's displayed correctly... The point is, I sent patches by copy-pasting them into email. They looked ok (I switched off word wrappping). But people on the other end got patch failures trying to apply them. I tried the same: saved my own emails from 'sent' folder as files and tried to apply them, and to my horror they indeed failed to apply. I dug deeper into the problem, understood what causes it, and created this bug with detailed explanation what exactly goes wrong. |
