My original post:

-> We have DU4.0d patch #1. Since updating our tcsh from 6.06 to
-> 6.08, users who have "stty -tabs" are having part of their line
-> disappear when doing line editing.
-> Does anyone know what the problem could be??

My thanks to:
Jeff Berliner
Martin Mokrejs
MJ Watson

The suggestions:

Try stty tabs

Have them try setting "stty tab3" and see if that helps.

We had similar problems, sometimes it helps when you set the terminal from
dtterm to vt100. ;-)

Final outcome:
It appears that those users who has "stty -tabs" set did'nt really need the
setting, and are happy with "stty tabs".
