Re: [ jEdit-devel ] Elastic tabstops is completely broken

[Shlomy R. <sre...@gm...>]

Hi,

The second one is not a bug. The concept of elastic tabstops is that each
<tab> should be indented the same in the block of lines. If one line has two
tabs and the other has just one, they don't need to (or even shouldn't) be
aligned.

About the first one, I don't know if it's a bug or not. I think Anshal
should be able to say. It's the same rule as with the 2nd one - if you don't
use the same number of tabs in the various parts, you shouldn't expect them
to be aligned. Possibly the indentation of the padding line before removing
the tab from the other line was calculated according to the first line, and
now that the first line changes, the padding line also changed as it's no
longer a block of lines (wrt elastic tabstops).
