Created attachment 9528 [details] [review] Patch to fix as described above. This seems to be fixed in xmessage 1.0.2. |

Problem reported in the Debian BTS by Kevin Ryde 8 years ago, still applies to latest xmessage: I noticed that xmessage can get its initial window size wrong when displaying a message containing tab characters. For example, create a file containing <tab><tab><tab>hello world and run xmessage -file foo and it shows scroll bars rather than making its window big enough. Patch below to convert tabs to spaces in the message, both for file and command line messages. ab stops are 8 characters (hard coded), newlines are understood.
