Kyle Evans <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resolution|--- |Not A Bug Status|Open |Closed CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from Kyle Evans <[email protected]> --- I'm tentatively closing this as Not A Bug, 12 years later, but feel free to refute. My general feeling here is that allowing some wiggle room here leads us into not-so-great territory. We could certainly coalesce any trailing spaces when we encounter a tab, but who's to say those spaces weren't significant? That kind of pushes us down a path where we try to open the file, and if it fails we keep stripping off a single unit of trailing whitespace until we either run out or the open() succeeds, and I'm not sure I really like that kind of guessing. My gut feeling here is that we shouldn't try to accept patches kind of malformed here, lest we do something wrong in trying to guess. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
