>Description:
The manipulator setw() is working with C style strings but not with C++ style strings.

Based on the standard, setw() is suposed to be working to both C and C++ style strings.
>How-To-Repeat:
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
 
int main(void)
{
	string my_str("Hello");
	string my_str2("bye");
	
    // The correct expected result was "Hello      bye"
    // The actual buggy result is: "Hellobye"
	cout.setf(ios::left, ios::adjustfield);
	cout << setw(20) << my_str << my_str2 << endl;

	return 1;
}
