Description dml 2006-05-11 23:34:55 UTC 
If i disable autoindent (which i find really annoying), i get spaces instead of
tabs if i type a tab (which i find even more annoying). There seems to be no
method to diable both features.

This really bugs me.

Thanks in advance for looking at it.

How do you disable the indentation? By switching to advanced options and
selecting the editor settings->java editor->indentation engine you can set
'Simple indentation engine' and unselect the 'Expand tabs to spaces'.

If i choose:

Tools -> Options -> Advanced Options -> Editing -> Editor Settings -> Java
Editor -> Indentation Engine -> No Indentation

close, and reopen the same settings window, it has 'Java Indentation' again. So
the settings seem to be not recorded for Java (for other types it does).

This happened not always, maybe it depends on some other settings. I don't know
which.

I'm using 5.5beta now.

The lost Indentation Engine setting is tracked by issue 70424

I see, this is in fact the dup of issue 70424.
