Description timmaher 2013-04-03 15:21:31 UTC 
After installing the JVi plugin, the editor (Even with tools->JVi menu item unticked) has started inserting tabs rather than spaces. This means that Ctrl.F completely restructures all source. Incidentally it also makes line endings at 80 characters.
The properties for the project and globally are set to convert tabs to spaces and line ending at 150 characters.

I uninstalled JVi and the problem remains.

Interestingly, I am also running 7.2.1 and this is unbroken as JVi was never installed for that instance.

I have been unable to find which property, setting or piece of code that can be adjusted to remove the problem.

Where formatting properties are "advertised", even though global is selected rather than project specific, the line ending default is set to 80. This surely means that a resource reader is looking in the wrong place and probably is a pointer to the tabs issue.
Trouble is... I cant find it.

This is undoubtedly an issue with the JVi plugin but I do not know how it can have affected the primary product in such a deep way unless some software is overwriting core defaults (Not good) or is using the wrong resource bundle.
