Which version are you using? Please upgrade to 5.4.5 if you are using anything older.
For me, not only the tabs are replaced. Even better: if I type a tab before the first non indent character of a line, then all the indentation is converted. Which is usually what I want.
If you are using 5.4.5, coud you detail how you add tabs and check whether they are replaced?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hi all,
I've switched on 'Tab Setting'-> 'Replace by space'. But it doesn't work.
I mean TAB character doesn't repalced by spaces.
Could you please explain why?
-Best regards
xjzhang1979, you are right. It was conflict with QuickText.
Thanks a lot.
Existing tabs will not be replaced. NEW tabs will be replaced with an appropriate number of spaces.
new tabs weren't replaced.

I've made several screenshots: http://docs.google.com/View?id=dc4c5knb_4kpmm3dhs
There I've used only TABs and no SPACEs.
do you use plugin QuickText, it's default shortkey is TAB, it maybe conflict with "replace tab with space"
