Well, it turns out that this is not a trivial bug, but something structural
with the drawing scheme we'd have to sort out. The problem is the
following: in a paragraph with first indented line, the avail space is
something like
<------- f ----->
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
<----------- w --------->
Now suppose the first x is a text inset.
The inset gets passed in the metrics step a maxwidth of w, and not f. (which
may be correct, because if the inset is on the second x and is wide enough,
we would expect the first x go alone in the first row, and the inset take
the full second row). And this results on the inset being drawn starting in
the first x but having width approx. w (and so it is too wide).
I don't see a simple (not too special cased) solution to the problem.
Comments and/or solutions welcomed. If you need further clarifications just
ask.
