Found in 3.6 rc1, I was changing all my tab values from 4 to 3 and it didn't save them. After entering a value, you must hit tab to make the new value stick. Repo: 1)Tools, Options, Editing, Indentation Engines 2) Select the first engine, change "Number of spaces per tab" from 3 to 4. 3) Select next engine, then click back to first engine and note the numerical value is not saved. 4) To make it save, must hit tab to allow control to notice the value has changed. You can't even mouse to the previous value "Expand Tabs to Spaces" to make the value save.
This is correct behavior. To change the value you must press the enter or tab after type text.
What about to make this an enhancement, this is not the first time somebody is mentioning this functionality. Isn't it already filed?
