        It's also very annoying if you tend to indent your paragraphs on the 
first line only, in the style of American typography.  That's the way I 
was taught, and the way I still do it.  Here's what happens to me (pasted 
in from Pan):

        La la and boom boom bah... now for instance I will type and keep on
        typin until something happens... there, now I've got a G in front of me,
and now the G is floating in front of a tab!  Now what happens if I keep
going even more... now the G is in front of a space... let's go some more
and see what happens... now the G is by itself again, yet still
floating... g

        [End paste]  It's only because I habitually type a space after a period 
or ellipsis that the G is not right up against that last collection of 
dots.

        It will be a duplicate if you do that, but please feel free to add on 
to 
Bug # 121178, which is still marked as NEW.  :)

        This may actually be Gtk-related, as I *think* I recall Gaim-0.67 or 
earlier doing the same thing.  It may have only been when spell-checking 
was enabled, but I'm not sure.  Anyway, 0.68 does not do it now, so maybe 
they found a work-around.
