pango_layout_xy_to_index

Don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I'll try
anyway.

I'm porting an editor and started using Pango. I'm impressed
by the clean
interface and the functionality.

However, I think I found a bug. It looks like
pango_layout_xy_to_index
does not use the tab stops I set with pango_layout_set_tabs.
It simply
ignores my tabstop settings and returns incorrect offsets.

Is this a known bug?

Glad you like it.

No.  Not as far as I know.  Can you attach a minimal test
case exposing
the problem?

Aaargh... the bug was mine. My apologies. For measuring
postion to  
index I used an offscreen graphic device but with a width
smaller  
than my on screen area. This meant the tabstops were not set
up  
properly and Pango apparently falls back to 8 spaces per tab
when tab  
stops are exhausted.

Which leads to a feature request: wouldn't it be nice to
have a  
'pango_tab_array_set_default_tab_width' where you can set
this default?

No, it repeats the difference between your last two stops.

Just add one final stop that dictates the repeated pattern
after it.
