The current dev build 20070808 (actually the 3 or 4 before that as well) completely ignore the tab settings from the indention panel (Tools -> Options -> Editor -> Indention) I selected 2 for Number of Spaces per Indent and Tab Size and disabled "Expand Tabs to Spaces". However when I use e.g. Ctrl-T or Ctrl-D to indent or un-indent a line it is always shifted by 4 spaces. Additionally the editor uses Spaces even though I disables "Expand Tabs to Spaces". The settings in Java Code -> Formatting are aligned with the above and when I presse Ctrl-Shift-F the indention is corrected but it still uses spaces instead of tab characters.
Yes, it's just being fixed (the java will consistently used the options->editor->indentation settings too). We will check your usecase to make sure it is fixed.
*** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 105623 ***
I don't think this is a duplicate of 105623. If I look at 105623 this does not cover automatic indention during editing (e.g. hitting enter at the end of the line) which is still broken. The formatting using Ctrl-Shift-F is indeed fixed and uses Tabs instead spaces but when I hit enter, the next line is indented using spaces and not the number of spaces I defined (2)
