When Mozilla prints HTML pages, the output includes 'tabs' as 4 (?) spaces - the exact number is tough to tell on a sheet of paper. I expected Mozilla to print the HTML exactly like Gecko renders it - with tabs as a single space, according to the rest of the HTML formatting rules. The URL above is just an example of this effect - if you look at the source HTML, you'll see after some of the variables (e.g. '$close_msg', '$log_path'), there's a tab in the source. This tab shows up in the printed version. I'm runing the May 21 daily build on Debian GNU/Linux. Feel free to contact me if you need more info.

(Better title) - can someone confirm this?

confirmed this (2000052309)

Is this confirmed just on Linux.. I don't see any problem on Windows NT.

Yes, this is fine on mac and windows. Seen only on linux.

This bug has been marked future because we have determined that it is not critical for netscape 6.0. If you feel this is an error, or if it blocks your work in some way -- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.

The example URL isn't valid anymore. Does anyone has another testcase for this ?

The testcase is no longer accessible, as noted in the previous comment. I tried to construct a testcase from scratch, but mozilla formatted text the same whether I used tabs or spaces. Resolving invalid because no valid test case is available.
