I reported this as bug reference 1254093. My original report is below. I have finally discovered what is causing this problem. My tab width is 8 spaces and I have hard tabs. With identical settings, jEdit 4.1Final shows tabbed text correctly, 4.2Final and 4.3Pre2 both get tab positions wrong sometimes. What I discovered is that I have fractional font metrics turned on. When used with jEdit 4.1Final, tabs always display correctly. When used with jEdit 4.2Final or 4.3Pre2, tabs may display incorrectly. If I turn off fractional font metrics, tabs always display correctly. I hope this helps to pinpoint the problem - it is quite repeatable (for me).

I ran jEdit 4.3pre2 with the command line: c:\java\jdk1.6.0\bin\javaw -Dsun.java2d.opengl=True -jar "C:\Program Files\jEdit 4.3pre2\jedit.jar" It caused the background to take on a greenish tint and the scroller on the vertical scrollbar to show up corrupted. Here are screenshots with the property set to false and the property set to true: sun.java2d.opengl=False sun.java2d.opengl=True Running java -version gives me: java version "1.6.0-ea" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.6.0-ea-b43) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-ea-b43, mixed mode, sharing) I am running an eMachines laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon 9600, running Windows XP SP2, with the ATI Catalyst 5.5 video driver installed.

With jEdit version 4.3pre1 my text file was using only 3/4 Mb... but with 4.3pre2 the same file use 11/12 Mb... ¿Is it normal?
