 darwin: ls-lisp-use-insert-directory-program=nil => bad formatting
Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2013 11:57:53 -0500

In GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0, NS apple-appkit-1265.00)
 of 2013-12-17 on sds-MacBook-Pro.local
Windowing system distributor `Apple', version 10.3.1265
Configured using:
 `configure --with-ns'

(require 'ls-lisp)
(setq ls-lisp-use-insert-directory-program nil)

results in a dired buffer where the colums are not aligned because the
file size between group and data does not have a fixed width

Not sure why you did that: the second line effectively disables the
first one.  Is ls-lisp dumped into the Emacs executable on Darwin?  If
not, why did you need the above?

This is obviously data-dependent, so please show the data and the
screenshot of bad display.

these settings appear to be recommended by the doc string of
`dired-use-ls-dired'

In that Dired buffer, what are the values of ls-lisp-filesize-d-fmt
and ls-lisp-filesize-f-fmt?  I suspect they are " %2d" and " %2.0f"
respectively.  If that is so, please step through
ls-lisp-insert-directory in a debugger and see why it doesn't account
for file sizes that have more than 2 digits in them.

Did you invoke Dired with some non-default switches, btw, as in
"C-u C-x d"?

Also, does the problem happen in "emacs -Q"?

the `(memq ?s switches)' branch is taken.

I customize dired-listing-switches to "-als".
the "s" caused the problem.

I don't know how do do this under mac os x.
sorry.

Right, it looks like it prepares to display size in blocks, but
actually displays in bytes.  I will take a look.  Thanks.

There was a confusion in the code regarding what -s really means.
Should be fixed now (revision 115593 on the trunk).

Thanks.
