tab width not being saved in preferences
Status: Inactive

I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop, and decided to install Screem (via Synaptic PM). I wanted to change the width of tabs (defaulted to 8), but when I clicked the down arrow next to the box, it set itself to 1 and refused to be reset to anything else. Now all my documents are a bit squished, and I can't seem to find any way to change this preference, whether from within Screem or via its configuration files.
I have this same issue.
Me too, It's preventing me from using this otherwise good program. Has any progress been made?
I would love to see this issue addressed also.
Wohoo, WORKAROUND!!!
gconftool-2 --set /apps/screem/editor/tabwidth --type float "4"
where 4 is the tab-width you want ;-)
This should now be fixed in current CVS. The right margin column position had the same issue. This should also fixed in current CVS.
That workaround did not work for me. I tried:
gconftool-2 --set /apps/screem/editor/tabwidth --type float 4
without the quotes around the value for the tabwidth setting, and it worked.
