[BUG?] windows 2000: formatted text flows into one another

[michael76]

hi,
i'm having the problem that formatted text (bold, italic, underlined, colored, ...) flows into one another if i want to display it in my editor. additionally text will be cut at the end of the line. this problem appears only under windows 2000.
when i type in any character, the display is getting fixed.

i've made two screenshots:

after typing in any character, the right view:


i hope you can help me

How the text was created initially? Loaded from file?

no, the text is loaded from a database (xml format).

[EDIT:]
i've tested the display of the text shown in the oher screenshots with windows xp and saw that the author of this text used a tabulator. maybe thats the problem with windows 2000?!

it's a bit strange that i can't see the tabulator in the xml (<tab ... />). maybe it's only displayed as a char and windows 2000 has a problem with that...

[EDIT:]

now i've found the bug also under windows xp. i think it's definitely a problem with tabulators.

here are my screenshots:

The file you send to me has no tabulators, it has only spaces.
On XP it looks normal. I will be able to access a computer with Win2000 only next Monday.
Can you check if the font "Arial Unicode MS" is installed on systems where this problem occurs?
I have a guess that this font is substituted by Windows, and substituted with different fonts at the moment of the initial formatting and drawing.

[michael76]

The file you send to me has no tabulators, it has only spaces.

yeah, that is what i meant. in the xml code there are no tabulators. when i press tab then there is one in the xml code displayed as <tab styleno=".." />

now i've disabled the usage of tabulators. if i open the text and save it without making a change it will be saved correctly without the visual tabulator. so i can ensure that this "bug" won't appear in the future...

but now it's interesting why it's displayed as i described in my first post...

i'll check next week if the font "Arial Unicode MS" is installed on systems where this problem occurs...

[Sergey Tkachenko]

If tab character (#09) appear between <utext> and </utext>, it may really cause problems. But in the file you send to me, I can find no tab characters.
