Sorry for the trouble. I think I figured out what the issue is but am still
trying to figure out how to fix it. Sometime in March, I was investigating
into the behavior of FOP when we have text-indent. Attached are the mails at
that time. I had a fix for FOP 0.20.5(in my local version) to not do
indenting if it is not the first FOText area. This fix works fine but is
causing things to break at the beginning of a column. Even though it is the
first FOText area, since it is happening at the very beginning of the
column, somehow FOP is not considering this as the first one and is not
applying the indent. I need to look at the code again and see if I can fix
it.
Thanks,
Kumar Puppala

Ah, then it would have been preferable to send the question to fop-users.
I've quickly put together a test file with two columns and text-indent
but I don't see any problems. You can really make our lives easier if
you post a minimal example which shows your problem. Otherwise, it's
really difficult to help. And to answer your first question: No, I don't
know of any known issues for text-indent but then, I'm not all-knowing
especially what 0.20.5 is concerned. :-)

Thanks to you all for pointing me in the right direction. I was able to fix
it and get the desired behavior. The changes were made in Block.java and
BlockArea.java
Thanks,

It is almost certainly not a problem with the inheritance itself, but rather
with the way the layout system signifies which LineArea objects are the
"first". I would start with the variable isFirst in layout/Area.java and
find occurrences in the Block and Line layout that reference it, then work
backwards from there. It sure could be something else, but that is my best
guess about where to start. (I don't have FOP 0.20.5 set up in a development
environment anymore, or I would dig a bit deeper for you). HTH.

If I have text-indent specified on an fo:block and if I have a nested block
within this, the text following this nested block is indented as well. For
example:
This is just for testing purpose and this line will be indented.
this is the nested block
The text following the nested block is indented as well...not sure if
this is as per spec. since it does not happen in other renderers.
In the above example, the text following the second block should not be
indented since text-indent applies only to
