Tk Source Code

Works on Mac OS X.

Right justified does not work on Linux.
I still get the arrow symbols as in the picture.
This bug is present in both 8.6.6 and revised_text.

I did remember to pull, update, make.

Updated test script.

package require Tk
text .z -height 5
set f "{Courier New} -12"
.z configure -font $f
pack .z

set tsize [expr {[font measure $f m]*4}]

.z insert end "a\tb\tc\td\te"
.z insert end "\n"
.z insert end 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890
.z insert end "\n"
.z insert end "a\tb\tc\td\te"
.z tag configure x -tabs $tsize -justify right
.z tag add x 1.0 end
set ::x 0
after 5000 [list set ::x 1]
vwait ::x
.z tag remove x 1.0 end
.z tag configure y -tabs $tsize -justify left
.z tag add y 1.0 end
set ::x 0
after 5000 [list set ::x 1]
vwait ::x
.z tag remove y 1.0 end
