@Frédéric: Did you guys notice something similar as well by chance?
(In reply to Christian Ruppert (idl0r) from comment #1) > @Frédéric: Did you guys notice something similar as well by chance? Yes, this is a bug in Text::Wrap 2012.0818 incorrectly parsing strings. Unfortunately, that's the version released with Perl 5.18. I asked rjbs, the maintainer of the perl 5.18 branch, to include this fix in 5.18.3, but he refused arguing that this bug doesn't pass criteria to be backported to the 5.18 branch. But you can manually upgrade to Text::Wrap 2013.0426 or newer, e.g. by using the install-module.pl script provided by Bugzilla. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=927455#c7 for the details.
I'll add a perl-core/Text-Tabs+Wrap-2013.52.300 to the tree tonight (the version that is also included in Perl 5.20). That should be new enough to fix the bug, and we can stabilize it later on.

Oh, that's even a quite old bug. Thanks! (In reply to Andreas K.

I'll ask zlogene to test and stabilize, he's in all involved arch teams.
