Summary: Custom Tab size not used for multiline tabbing

Initial Comment:
I'm new to jEdit.  I set my tab size to 4 spaces.  This works fine, until I try to increase the indent on many lines at once.  When I highlight a section of code and then press the TAB key, it indents every highlighted line 8 spaces instead of 4. I.e. it's ignoring the custom setting.

The result is that when I need to take a large section of code and enclose it in another construct like an if-block or while-loop etc. , I need to go through and add another tab to each line manually in order to maintain consistent format and readability. 

PS.  As a new user, it was hard to report the bug.  I had to sign up for jEdit Community (up to 24 hour wait) and then sign up for sourceforge.  Not a huge problem, but kind of a pain.

TY, and great product so far!

Thanks,
Boz
