Good evening, Duxbury listers,
Many thanks to Steve, Mike, Sandy, Lloyd and George, who responded to my
email of June 13 regarding a tab code being ignored in the Braille
translation when it preceded the comp-inline style. I'm gratified to learn
that this will be addressed in DBT 10.5.
My apologies for taking so long to thank everyone. Two weeks ago, I was
sick for the better part of a week, and have been playing catchup ever
since--severely limiting my list-visiting time. Now that I'm back to the
list, this was my first order of business.
The wealth of DBT knowledge provided on this list is truly
extraordinary. I am truly grateful for the willingness of so many to share
their expertise and address problems and issues.

This is a known bug (#428 in our problem database), which has been fixed in the 10.5 pre-release.
The same basic problem can show up in other circumstances; it really has nothing to do with CBC. What is happening is this: The "tab" code sets a state that does not really take effect until the next real "word" comes along -- it says, in effect, "the next word is to be tabbed, and when it is encountered, position it thus and so." But the opening style code, i.e. in this case [es~compinline], resets the tabbing states before the actual text data is processed, with the effect observed.
The work-around for now is to use the raw codes instead of the style, e.g. in this case use [cbi]...[txi] around the web address.
