--- Begin Message ---Package: emacs20 Version: 20.6-2 Severity: normal My tab-stop-list variable is set at (5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65). My indent-tabs-mode variable is set at `nil'. I normally use (paragraph-indent-text-mode) as my default, but often use mail-mode, which I have not been able to change from indent-relative mode. About half of the time, a tab at the start of a paragraph is five spaces, as specified in tab-stop-list, but it frequently is 2, 3, 7, or 8. I have experienced inital tabs of 20, 25 and, once, 55. If more than the intial tab is used, I have observed tab stops at 3, 6, 11, 17 and 7 15 20 25. Tab behavior in emacs20 appears to be completely random. -- System Information Debian Release: 2.2 Kernel Version: Linux bobspc 2.2.14 #1 Fri Apr 7 20:44:23 EDT 2000 i586 unknown Versions of the packages emacs20 depends on: ii emacsen-common 1.4.11 Common facilities for all emacsen. ii libc6 2.1.3-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone ii liblockfile1 1.01 Shared library with NFS-safe locking functio ii libncurses5 5.0-6 Shared libraries for terminal handling ii xlib6g 3.3.6-7 shared libraries required by X clients

--- Begin Message ---I think the previous messages, 5 years ago, explained that there isn't a bug here. (If you want changes in Emacs tab-handling behaviour, I suggest opening a report directly with upstream. It seems unlikely to change though.)
