[Bug 247129] Re: blancs become tabs

[wasimo]

I mean 'blanks' of course, I'm sorry for that.  The spacing between
words has changed :  it's still only one character, but it has the width
of 3 characters, as is the case with tabs.  This is obvious in the first
screenshot I've included.  Screenshot 2 shows the page layout used and
screenshots 3  shows the result of another character encoding.  As you
can see, a different character encoding doesn't change the spacing
between words, and I've tried several ones.  The remaining screenshots
show the add-ons, themes and plugins which are installed in Firefox.
The add-ons Xulrunner and Mozilla Firefox en-GB were also installed but
these were incompatible with Firefox3 so I removed them from Firefox.
It didn't change anything about the layout of pages and menus.  Maybe
these add-ons were the cause of my problems, I don't know.  I didn't
install Firefox3 myself, it all went automatically from Firefox2 through
Firefox3RC2 to Firefox3 thanks to the Gnome Application Installer. I,
therefore, don't know whether it was me who installed the incompatible
packages or whether they were installed automatically before the update
to Firefox3RC2 and the update to Firefox3 arrived.  I also don't know
when the incompatible packages were installed.  As I can recall, there
were no layout problems with Firefox3RC2, but I'm not sure of that.
Concerning the crashes I've experienced with Firefox3, they seemed to
happen when I had several applications open.  My PC has 2 GByte RAM,
though, with a swap space of another 2 GByte, so memory shortage will
not be the reason for these crashes.
