(Get the code!)
Description of problem:
New "feature" in Fedora 9/KDE4 is that Kate cannot increase indentation levels
using tabs. It can only use spaces. Previous versions of Kate used the
indentation found on the line. If it was indented with tabs, it added another
tab. If it was indented with spaces, it added more spaces.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Kate 3.0.4/KDE 4.0.4
How reproducible:
Create a file (program/script). Indent with tabs. Highlight some code and
increase indentation level. It will add spaces, not tabs, to increase the
indentation level.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create code with tabs
2. Highlight part of the code
3. Increase indentation level
Actual results:
Spaces are added to increase indentation level.
Expected results:
An extra tab should be added to increase indentation level.
Additional info:
The expected response to this is, "Just use spaces, not tabs." However, I have
many years of code that uses tabs for indentation. I do not want to go through
600 gigs of code and convert all tabs to spaces just to make a bug in Kate feel
warm and fuzzy about itself.
