GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 569849
Wrong management of the use spaces option of the status bar
Last modified: 2009-05-23 14:24:47 UTC
This bug is for Jesse: Open a file having tabs instead of spaces in the preferences dialog. With the status bar button, switch to use spaces. Add some tabs (in this case spaces are inserted), save the file, and add another tabs (tabs \t are inserted).
Chating with jesse this seems a bug in modelines.
