There is no tab in the initial file, so a more accurate way to put it is
emacs21 inserts a tab, and emacs-snapshot inserts spaces.  Whether or
not that is a bug, I don't know... (tab-width is 8 by default)


It is a misunderstanding that pressing TAB inserts a tab character in
Emacs; rather, that key runs the command indent-for-tab-command which
in turn calls the function pointed to by indent-line-function.  See
section 31.3.1 of the Emacs Manual (in emacs-snapshot).  If you want
to insert a tab character, you should press C-q TAB.

That being said, I agree that it would be better if
indent-for-tab-command would indent with a tab rather than with spaces
in fundamental mode; unfortunately, there is apparently no option to
enable this.

Cheers,

Sven

No, the bug seems to be different from what you are thinking.

If I press TAB in at the beginning of the first line of test-before, 
Emacs correctly inserts a TAB.

But this doesn't work in the line where I observe the problem.

 Cheers,

Uh?

No, as noted in my initial message it's because the offset in the
example file is 5 spaces and `tab-width' is 8 by default.  Replace the
word ``menu'' by ``menufoo'' and Emacs will insert a tab, because the
indentation offset becomes 8 spaces, i.e. 1 tab.

 This is using the fundamental mode with both Emacs versions.

 emacs21 correctly preserves the tab, while emacs-snapshot converts it
 to spaces.
