2010-04-20 17:35:39 Jonathan Lange description Bug comments and descriptions are again stuffed. Leading whitespace is being munched: https://launchpad.net/products/launchpad/+bug/2625 In every line of every bug comment or description, Launchpad will mangle all whitespace that occurs after the first non-whitespace character. This is a problem, since it prevents the correct display of things like diffs, UNIX commands (esp. regexes) and ASCII art. You can see an obvious demonstration of this by comparing the ASCII art below with the output of "cowsay Whitespace\!". They are not expected to be exactly identical, but the ASCII cow on Launchpad should look a lot more cow-like. This bug is *not* about the bug description using variable-width fonts.
