Bug ID: 457888
Summary: Kate doesn't respect indentation configuration
Product: kate
Version: 22.04.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: indentation
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: tnem...@free.fr
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Hi !
I always configure my text editors so that indentation is 8 spaces (no tabs). I
did the same in kate and it always worked until recently. Now, whatever the
configuration, it always insert only 4 spaces. Kate developers may be in the
EVIL clan of the 4-spaces (and less) intendation but they should not force
their bellefs on the Good Old Fashion clan ;)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open kate's configuration dialog, on the "Modification" section,
"Indentation" tab.
2. Select 8 for both "Tabs width" and "Indentation width", with the "Spaces"
radio button selected.
3. Open a file and add indentations... Several, on several lines. With text
after that. Just like in a C file.
OBSERVED RESULT
Only 4 spaces are added. Not only that but a feint vertical line is displayed
at each theoretical 4-spaces tab-stops instead of what has been configured.
EXPECTED RESULT
It should have been 8 spaces inserted and the vertical line should have been at
each 8-spaces tab-stops.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian GNU/Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.96.0
Qt Version: 5.15.4
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The BackSpace action in indentation zone doesn't work anymore also, it seems.
