Description shirk 2010-12-29 23:35:41 UTC
Any changes made to formatting preferences for language = Ruby are ignored and reset (the preferences file is overwritten with default values).

In the options window, editor section, formatting tab, I have:
  - Language = All Languages
  - Expand Tabs to Spaces = true
  - Number of Spaces per Indent = 3
  -Tab size = 3

When I switch to Language = Ruby and uncheck "Override Global Options" then go back to the editor and open a ruby file, the preferences are reset to their default values and the preferences file is overwritten. I even tried saving the changes directly in the file, but these were overwritten as well.

Please fix. It's very frustrating. Thank you.
