Description Robert J. Osborne 2001-11-01 09:50:47 EST

Description of Problem:
The joe autoindent feature (^t i) fails to function when activated.  Instead of 
dropping underneath the previous whitespace of the line above it, the cursor 
is always placed at column 1.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
joe-2.9.6-2

How Reproducible:
Every Time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. joe test.txt
2.Place a few tabs on a line and then type some text after the tabs.
3. Press CTRL-T followed by I to enter autoindent mode.
4.  Press enter to go to the next line.
5.  The cursor will wrongly go to column 1 instead of under the previous line 
indention.

Actual Results:
The resulting text file if saved is wrongly tabbed if viewed; so this must be an 
internal JOE bug, rather than a curses/display bug.

Expected Results:

No problems here... do you have your own configuration of joe? What locale are
you running?

Comment 2 Robert J. Osborne 2001-11-01 10:55:06 EST

I have a standard i386/i686 desktop install US/English/Eastern (New York) TZ; 
everything should be vanilla.

I've been able to reproduce this bug consistently on both upgraded and 
freshly-installed systems.

In further testing, it appears to handle spaces okay but loses (at least one) tab.

Comment 3 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-11-01 11:00:20 EST

OK, verified - it handles spaces just fine, but if you use tabs, it will lose
one of them for every line.

Comment 4 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-11-08 11:22:09 EST

Fixed in joe-2.9.7-1
