Problem Description:
The invokeTag() method in com.adobe.coldfusion.base.cfc has its output set to TRUE, so it emits all the indentation in the function as whitespace. This can break white-space senstive output. If this method needs to emit output (and, really, it should not), then it needs to be controlled better so only the output gets emitted. But I can't see anything in there that needs outputting (and it would be pretty poor programming if you did).
Steps to Reproduce:
Use the method (or one of the methods that call it). See the whitespace.
Actual Result:
Whitespace.
Expected Result:
No whitespace.
As a footnote, the code in this method is appalling. This is a parent CFC and it has references in it to other CFCs that extend it! This is a bit tragic. And embarrassing that a very expensive enterprise product has code like this in it (this is before I even observe the fact that all this stuff is implemented with CFCs anyhow, which is a subpar approach to solving the problem they're addressing, but there is another ticket for that).
