Should scanner like tabs?

Hi All,

As I'm putting the finial touches to my TextOrganizer (to be published shortly) I noticed that if I have an item with a leading tab noting gets displayed. (it uses the IndentingListItem of the ObjectExplorer).

Upon investigation I discovered that the scanner used returns a size of zero if there is a leading tab.

For example:

	| scanner |
	scanner _ QuickPrint newOn: Display box: Display boundingBox font: TextStyle defaultFont.
	scanner stringWidth: '	test'.  0
	scanner stringWidth: 'test'.  19
	scanner stringWidth: 'a		test'.  7

Is this the expected behaviour or bug?

Cheers,

Stewart (who's returned from Paradise after working out how to get his name displayed!)
