Bug#40703: kdevelop 2.1 editor: auto indent: uses spaces not tabs

[james.fischer at nexsi.com]

Package: kdevelop
Version: 2.1 (using KDE 3.0.0 )
Severity: normal
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
Compiler:          gcc3
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

With the "auto indent" feature enabled, if I press the TAB key, type in some text, and press the ENTER key, the KDevelop 2.1 editor incorrectly uses a single space character to auto-indent the next line of text:

<TAB>TEXT<ENTER>		// what I type
<SPACE>			// auto-indent

Likewise,

<TAB><TAB>TEXT<ENTER>	// what I type
<SPACE><SPACE>		// auto-indent

etc.

Here are the settings I'm using in the "kdevelop-2.1" dialog box (see: "Options | Editor..." from the KDevelop main menu):

:: Edit Options Group ::
Auto Indent
Backspace Indent
Remove Trailing Spaces
Wrap Cursor
Highlight Brackets
(All other options in this group are unchecked)

:: Select Options Group ::
Delete On Input
Auto Copy
(All other options in this group are unchecked)

:: Other ::
Wrap Words At: 78
Tab Width: 8
Undo steps: 5000
Indent Length: 8
