Description Stuart Rossiter CLA 2011-03-14 10:25:12 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20110301-1815

When editing XML files, the Tab key incorrectly uses the 'Displayed tab width' setting (from General-->Editors-->Text Editors) instead of 'Indentation size' (from XML-->XML Files-->Editor).

This happens whether 'Indent using spaces' or 'Indent using tabs' is set.
Source format (Ctrl-Alt-F) does do the formatting correctly.

Displayed tab width should only be being used for displaying existing tab chars. in the source file (unless I've missed something).


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit any XML file with Indentation size set to 4 spaces and displayed tab width set to 8.
2. Observe that the Tab char produces 8 spaces instead of 4 spaces.

i just tried this scenario in 3.5.0, and the XML preferences are being honored properly. This bug should be resolved.

Resolving due to my last comment.
