Screenshot showing the current and expected outcome

Problem description: Paragraph-initial tab stop cannot be filled in 
hanging-indent paragraphs and the value of the tab stop keeps changing in the 
formatting
dialog 

Steps to reproduce (works both with paragraph-specific formatting or paragraph 
styles):

1. Create a paragraph with hanging indent, eg. first line indent 2cm, first 
line -2cm.

2. Add a tab stop to the same value (2cm), i.e., to the position of the hanging 
indent. Specify a fill character.

(This is needed in some bibliography styles when one author has several 
bibliography entries: the filled tab stop denotes “the same as before”.)

Current behavior: The paragraph-initial tab works only as far as the correct 
indent is concerned. The fill character does not appear.

Expected behavior: You should get a paragraph where the first line has a filled 
tab stop.

Further: When you return to the paragraph formatting dialog, the value of the 
tab stop has changed. The new value seems to be indent minus the tab value, 
i.e.,
0cm if the values were identical to begin with. You can even provide negative 
tab stop values but that does not affect the outcome: the initial tab cannot be
filled with a character.
