Description Jon Smirl 2004-02-11 07:45:15 UTC 
Version:           CVS (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When block selecting across a region containing embedded tabs, block select gets the selection all wrong. 

Try it on this:

There were a couple of tab between the two columns in the orginal text. Just add enough tabs to make the second column line up. Then try to block select it. It's behaving like tabs are only one space in block select mode.

Anyone interested in fixing this? kate is completely broken in block mode when there are tabs present in lines involved in the block being selected.
