I'm not sure what you mean (the problem/symptoms are not very clear
IMHO). By guessing, though, I'd say you are using "xml:space" set to
"preserve", which would in fact place a space in the second line. This
is the expected behavior AFAIK [1]. Note that the default behavior
(without "preserve") would cause the paragraph not to break, therefore
typically being displayed in a single line.

I've quickly picked up from your sample and created a comparison
(with/without the property): I'm attaching a screenshot of the result
using "amaya 11.3 (Sep 9 2009)".


Hope this helps,
 Helder

Hi Dominique,
  

For the following code (inside a <p>)
    

j’ai une série de réserves. Je le trouve schématique, parfois simpliste
<!--  et parfois tout à fait erroné --> sur certains points. (Le livre
      

Amaya renders an undue space to begin the second line.

I am not using this. (I do not know what it is.)

Sorry, my description above is too short, mixing code and rendering. It is an ordinary paragraph (with margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 30px; in the css), a single line indeed but flowing naturally to the next line because of the width (wrapping).

The code

j’ai une série de réserves. Je le trouve schématique, parfois simpliste
<!--  et parfois tout à fait erroné --> sur certains points. (Le livre

did render as

j’ai une série de réserves. Je le trouve schématique, parfois simpliste
 sur certains points. (Le livre

with a queer space where it happens to flow to the next line precisely at the comment. It is pure chance that the wrap in display corresponds to a newline in the code.

Forgot to say I am using 11.2. My case is the first case of your screenshot, but with a length of text (for the window) causing wrapping at the comment.

Looking at my text, now wrapping at another point, there is still a bug: Amaya renders a double space after the comment. Thus the bug seems to have nothing to do with the wrapping of the display (I was mistaken by the peculiar wrap in my first message) but only with a comment after a newline in the code. If you look at my SpaceCommentBug screenshot, the code is unchanged as above but there is obviously an extra space in the display between the words simpliste and sur.

I made a test. In the case of the new StyleCommentBug screenshot there is no space in the code after the comment. It depends on the style: I cannot obtain it if I cut the style tag in head. More testing shows it depends on justify. I deleted the text-indent clause. The bug does not always show at first. It does not depend on the space after the comment. It obtains in both cases. You may have to click in the code at the end of the comment to make it appear. (Mystery that just clicking something in the code pane, without changing anything, should change the display!) I attach the html of the test. I should try the same in 11.3 but I have no more time now.
