Original description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Change "editor.tabs.expand=true" to false in preferences.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Indentation and tabs should remain as tabs in the code. Instead, the tab key no longer functions, and indents are still converted to spaces.

What version of the Arduino software are you using? On what operating
system? Which Arduino board are you using?

Software version 0021, Windows XP SP2. Uno board.

As far as I can see this issue is related to RSyntaxTextArea (setTabsEmulated() and so on). Can somebody confirm that?

Do you think we should open an issue on the side of RSyntaxTextArea project? (I haven't found any related issues there)

This is fixed with 1379505 since 1.6.5

I'm using version 1.7.7, and I have the exact same problem. Are you sure it was fixed? Could it be platform-dependent?

You are probably having the same issue, however the IDE you mentioned is not this one!
