Description Alexander 2012-01-09 19:02:03 UTC 
Version:           git master (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

I'm using KDevelop/kdevplatform git master (2012-01-09).

For some time now, KDevelop has been ignoring my indentation settings - it uses spaces instead of tabs.

In "Configure KDevelop -> Source Formatter" I have "Override Kate Indentation Mode" on, Formatter set to "Artistic Style" for C++. The actual style was copied and renamed from "Stroustrup". Inside, I have the indentation set to "Tabs" (I also tried "Force tabs", same results).
Note that the editor is also set to use Tabs.

If I open those settings and press OK, the settings are usually applied - tabs start working. However, after restarting KDevelop, the editor reverts back to using spaces.

This affects C++ files but not text files.

This is a regression from 4.2.

Thanks!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Just set the indenter to use tabs and restart the program.


Expected Results:  
Tabs should be inserted instead of spaces when pressing Tab on the keyboard.

openSUSE 12.1 x86-64.

if someone can reproduce this would be a blocker for 4.3 - please investigate (I'll do as well if I can find the time)

work-around incompatibility with kdevelop tab-indentation and kate's
dynamical tab-replacement

when the user has not selected "tabs" or "tabs & spaces" in kate's
indentation settings, but did configure his kdevelop source formatter
to use tabs, then kate would "dynamically" replace these tabs with
spaces again...

this depends on the recent commit to katepart (backported to 4.8 also).

for people with an older kate, please configure your kate editor to
use the above mentioned indentation setting. alternatively try out
kdevelop's 'override kate indentation mode' setting.
