Description David Rosenstrauch 2004-08-26 20:56:35 UTC

Version:           1.3 (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package
OS:                Linux

Kedit seems to be converting lines with leading tabs into spaces (1 space per tab) when a file gets saved.

e.g., this file:

no tab
	one tab
		two tabs

will look like this after being saved:

no tab
 one tab
  two tabs

note:  tabs got stripped out of the demo file I listed.  The "before" file should read like:

no tab
\tone tab
\t\ttwo tabs

I confirm. This is very annoying. I just edited a couple of python files and now I need
to re-edit all of them! My punishment for not using vi. This is starting to look like windows.
If it's a bug, fine, I certainly hope this was not done on purpose. 
Thanks for listening. Keep up the good work.
