Package: gnome-text-editor Version: 48.3-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When setting the indentation to use "Tab" in both Preferences and Document Properties, the Document Properties setting reverts to "Space" after closing and reopening the application. This causes the editor to use spaces instead of tabs, which overrides the Preferences setting. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open gnome-text-editor 2. Go to Preferences → Indentation → set "Character" to "Tab" 3. Go to Document Properties → set "Character" to "Tab" 4. Close the application completely 5. Reopen gnome-text-editor 6. Check Document Properties → "Character" is now set to "Space" again 7. Check Preferences → "Character" is still set to "Tab" correctly Expected behavior: Both settings should persist as "Tab" after restart, or Document Properties should not override Preferences. Actual behavior: Document Properties reverts to "Space" after restart and this setting overrides the Preferences setting, forcing spaces even though Preferences says "Tab". This is particularly problematic for Python development where mixing tabs and spaces causes "TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation". -- System Information: Debian Release: 13.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.12.73+deb13-amd64 (SMP w/6 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages gnome-text-editor depends on: ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.40.0-5 ii libadwaita-1-0 1.7.6-1~deb13u1 ii libc6 2.41-12+deb13u1 ii libcairo2 1.18.4-1+b1 ii libeditorconfig0 0.12.9+~0.17.1-1 ii libglib2.0-0t64 2.84.4-3~deb13u2 ii libgtk-4-1 4.18.6+ds-2 ii libgtksourceview-5-0 5.16.0-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.56.3-1 ii libspelling-1-2 0.4.8-1 gnome-text-editor recommends no packages. gnome-text-editor suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
