[TxMt] Re: Bug while rendering

[Matt Neuburg]

It's actually worse than you state. I pasted the text into a TextMate window and hit Return at the end and TextMate crashed. m.

The actual data in the TM window are correct, you can e.g. look for TAB characters. If you remove the combining tilde TM renders the text correctly.
