Pattern Layout does not handle max size for categories

Marc — Thu, 03 Jul 2003 19:31:44 -0000

The std::string will throw an exception if the max size
for a category is greater then the name of the category.

Example:
%{10.10c}

Category:
test

This will fail. The correct behavior should be to pad
it with spaces.

The problem is in FormatModifierComponent.append:
if (_maxWidth > 0) {
msg.erase(_maxWidth);
