--- Comment #6 from William Friedman <will.fried...@gmail.com> ---
Thank you for linking to that other bug report. There is definitely something
or several somethings wrong here, either in the description of the name of the
option, the function of the program, or the help information.

1) The name of the option says "delete," but in fact the tab is *replaced* with
a space.

2) In the help file for the autocorrect options
(https://help.libreoffice.org/7.3/en-US/text/shared/01/06040100.html), it
states:
"Delete spaces and tabs at beginning and end of paragraph
Removes spaces and tabs at the beginning of a paragraph. To use this option,
the Apply Styles option must also be selected.

Delete spaces and tabs at end and start of line
Removes spaces and tabs at the beginning of each line. To use this option, the
Apply Styles option must also be selected."

I have the Apply Styles option *unchecked* and yet my tabs were "deleted"
(again, replaced with a space). I'm happy to demonstrate this with a screencast
if necessary. So either the help is wrong, or the program is not functioning as
described in the help.

3) If the feature is only meant to work with lists, I think that should be made
explicit in the name of the feature or at least in the help text. If it is
meant to work with other styles as well, as far as I can tell it doesn't.
