Quoth Paul Gilmartin, 'Context? Example? Is this in HTML?
Is it between <PRE> ... <PRE> tags?'
The beginning of a line before the display of characters, the
indentation of paragraphs (or whatever) , the left side of centered
lines, pretty much any reason to leave the beginning characters of a
line blank. In HTML. Beginning with kernel 4.19 (but the same lynx!)
when the screen changes blank space at the beginning of a line
inherits what was previously on the screen.
It doesn't happen in X. Oddly it *does* happen in blank
characters in the middle of a line *when* that space on the screen was
previously occupied by a colored character (such as I use lynx.lss to
make bold, italics, links...)
