Hello OI users,

I have got a problem with column alignment in OI_scroll_menu.
This occurred when we updated our OI version from 3.4 to 4.5.

Pseudo code for arranging column layout:
menu cell font ="-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*";
scroll menu title font ="-*-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-normal-sans-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*";

OI_scroll_menu* scroll_menu;
OI_menu_cell* dummy_cell;
char header[] = "Column1\tColumn2";
OI_number tab_stop[2];
>
>
tab_stop[1] = 10;
tab_stop[2] = 10;
scroll_menu->set_title(header);
dummy_cell->set_label(header);
scroll_menu->set_tabs_custom(tab_stop, 1);
>
>
The result is that the space between Column1 and Column2 in the title is larger
than the space between Column1 and Column2 in the menu cell. Why ???
In OI 3.4 we got exactly the same space.

We are using OI 4.5(Beta release), Solaris 2.4 (SunOS5.4), Openwindows 3.4.
I had exactly the same problem with OI 4.5 (ordinary release), SunOS 4.1.3,
Openwindows 3.0).

Any ideas are welcome.
