#109 Source formatter does not make tabs 4 column wide
When i press [ctrl]+[shift]+[f] (format source), I get 8
columns wide tabs in the source, and not 4 columns,
although i tried to force it to make (the default) 4
columns, by passing -i=4 to perltidy.
If I change -i=4 to for example -i=3, it works, the
sources are formatted using tabs that have only 3
columns.
This happens on both E-P-I-C version 0.3.0 and 0.3.8
Eclipse Version: 3.0.1
Perl Version: 5.8.4
PerlTidy Version: 20031021
Using Linux.
Note that if I run perltidy by hand on the same sources, it
formats them good, so I suspect something is wrong
when calling perltidy to format the source from E-P-I-C.

Hm', I've tested it once again, and still I'm not able to
reproduce it.
To handle further I need the following:
1) Sample script, which will be formatted the wrong way.
2) Export of the preferences in Eclipse
3) for the option -l=130 I need the Eclipse log-file,
located in workpace/.metadata/.log, since there occurs an
exception.
Please attach all three files to this Bug. I'm only
interested in EPIC 0.3.8. If below, then I ignore it.
Also note: the perltidy version used in EPIC is 'built-in'
and does not use the perltidy-external!!!
Sample file that is not properly formatted (open it with any other editor to see)
Screenshots of the config. I don't know how to "export" the configuration
This is the exception i get when running eclipse. There is no log file in workspace/.metadata , just version.ini

I partially provided you the info that you requested.
1) there is a sample script formatted by e-p-i-c. edit it with
another editor first, to see the actual results.
2) i don't know how to export the preferences, so i provided you
screenshots found in an .tar.gz archive of the configuration
tabs;
3) i found the log file, i will attach it.

Sorry, still cannot reproduce it. The file remains with the
1 resp. 2 tabs, it will not be formatted as 4 tabs. And
frankly said, do not know where to search for. The export
preferences is on the Preference-screen. Even on your
screen-shots you could see it.
The only thing I could do is about the -l=130 bug - which
could be really a problem. But here I need more information:
- Where is the cursor located when you start your
Source-format? Give me cursor-position of the line
- Can you somehow interpolate with which l it works and with
which not? Attach the formated file with the largest working l
I'm running on a XP, with Perl 5.8.4. Perhaps there is a
difference between XP and Linux, what I don't believe.
Especially since you say, it's also reproducable on w2k. So,
only about the tiny issue with -l=130 I could do something!

About the tabs issue. I think there is still a
_misunderstanding_. I don't say that if I type a [TAB] in the
editor there is no tab character. It is. But tabs have different
sizes (4 spaces, 8 spaces and so on.) Here is where perltidy
comes into play: by default, it makes tabs look like 4 spaces.
In the E-P-I-C Editor, they look like 4 spaces, but when you
save the file and open it with any _other_ editor, the tabs look
like 8 spaces insead of 4. Even if you try to force perltidy to
format tabs like 4 spaces, it doesn't work.
Any other number works.
I will provide you the requested info ASAP.

When i am on line 10 (code: sleep 1) i get the exception
I tried the following values for -l:
130, 120, 100, 80, 50, 30, 10.
I get the exception with all of them.
I will attach the preferences export.
Note that I upgraded to perl-5.8.5 now, and still the same
results.
