           Summary: the tab character is not correctly handled
           Product: kate
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kde-kant@kde.org
        ReportedBy: skyostil@kempele.fi


Version:           2.12.1 (using KDE KDE 3.0.7)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages (testing/unstable)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.17-xfs

Unlike earlier versions, Kate 2.1 (which comes with KDE 3.1Beta1) displays the tab \
character always as N spaces (as set in the configuration) regardless of which column \
the character is in. 

An example of incorrect behaviour (I'm using spaces to illustrate the effect, so \
please view this in a monospace font. The period (.) indicates a tab character):

a.      b
aa.      b
aaa.      b
aaaa.      b

The way this should look is:

a.      b
aa.     b
aaa.    b
aaaa.   b

Note that his problem disappeares if "Replace tabs with spaces" is checked. This, \
thought, doesn't help with files that already contain tabs when opened.

Thank you for your time!
Regards, Sami.
