Wrong column number

Anjuta counts a tab as a single character when computing the current column number.  A tab should count for its equivalent number of spaces (as in gedit/emacs/vim etc.).

The screenshot shows the cursor after a single tab character.  Anjuta reports that the cursor is in column 1, but it's actually at column 4.
