Congratulations! You've found a bug! And it's an interesting one too! Look
what happens to t-list _AFTER_ "view layout [...]" is executed:
>> t-list: []
== []
>> for i 3 10 1 [insert tail t-list join "Line ###>" [ i "^(tab)^(tab)"
Data After Tab
]]
== []
>> probe t-list
["Line ###>3^-^-Data After Tab" "Line ###>4^-^-Data After Tab" "Line
###>5^-^-Data After Tab" "Line ###>6^-^-Data After Tab" "
Line ###>7^-^-Data After Tab" "Line ###>8^-^-Data After Tab" "Line
###>9^-^-Data After Tab" "Line ###>10^-^-Data After Tab"]
== ["Line ###>3^-^-Data After Tab" "Line ###>4^-^-Data After Tab" "Line
###>5^-^-Data After Tab" "Line ###>6^-^-Data After Tab
Li...
Note that the two tabs after "Line ###>3" are present in the first line.
>> view layout [text-list data t-list 400x400]
Now watch them disapear!
>> probe t-list
["Line ###>3 Data After Tab" "Line ###>4^-^-Data After Tab" "Line
###>5^-^-Data After Tab" "Line ###>6^-^-Data After Tab" "Lin
e ###>7^-^-Data After Tab" "Line ###>8^-^-Data After Tab" "Line
###>9^-^-Data After Tab" "Line ###>10^-^-Data After Tab"]
== ["Line ###>3 Data After Tab" "Line ###>4^-^-Data After Tab" "Line
###>5^-^-Data After Tab" "Line ###>6^-^-Data After Tab" "
Line ...
Note that the two tabs after "Line ###>3" have vanished!
I've sent this on to feedback as well.
