Summary: elide removes more than just text

Initial Comment:
Fix:-
Revert line 1352 in tkTextDisp.c 1.52 from
	if (!elide && chunkPtr->numBytes > 0) {
to
	if (chunkPtr->numBytes > 0) {

This causes no new test failures on WinXP


From the man pages:-

Elide specifies whether the data should be elided. 
Elided data is not displayed and takes no space on 
screen, but further on behaves just as normal data. 

However after the changes in tkTextDisp.c from 1.16 
to 1.17, elide no longer allows the formatting 
information from the tag to be used.

example text dump:-
tagon NICK-ivany 7.1 tagon STAMP 7.1 text 
{[18:39]    } 7.1 tagoff STAMP 7.9 tagon NICK 7.9 
text {ivany    } 7.9 tagoff NICK 7.15 tagon MSG 7.15 
text /see 7.15 tagoff MSG 7.19 tagon NICK 7.19 text {
} 7.19 tagoff NICK 8.0 tagoff NICK-ivany 8.0

If the STAMP tag has a -lmargin value of 20 then the 
output should be (approx.)
  [18:39]    ivany    /see

If STAMP is then elided we get this in 8.4.11
  ivany    /see

in 8.5 we get (without the initial indent)
ivany    /see
