I have converted over to using the 2/25 release. The tabs are now 8 characters, rather than 4 or so (or at least that is how it looks) and all of my scripts are wrapping. Any way to control the width of the tabs? Jon

When I enter tabs on an empty line, each tab character moves to the right half as much as when I move the cursor left through the blank space that is a tab. It seems that some of the editor thinks of the tabs as having the same width that I am used to, and some of the editor thinks of it as being twice as wide.

In Edit / Preferences you will find Indentation width, tab width and tab key function. You can set them how you want. Probably 4,4 and Insert tab.

 When I enter tabs on an empty line, each tab character moves to
 the right half as much as when I move the cursor left through the
 blank space that is a tab.  It seems that some of the editor
 thinks of the tabs as having the same width that I am used to, and
 some of the editor thinks of it as being twice as wide.

Thank you. I looked for a Preferences icon in the editor portion of the screen, but did not find it. Right clicked the word Editor and nothing happened. All better now. Might be helpful if there were an icon to see/hide white space. Not sure how often I will have to deal with this. I might suggest that the default for the tab be 4 rather than 8, since that is closer to how things were in the past On 3/6/2015 9:23 AM, nop head wrote: > In Edit / Preferences you will find Indentation width, tab width and > tab key function.
