tabs and indentation
Submitted by rv on Friday, 1 August, 2008 - 11:44
Been using jEdit for a while now and noticed that sometimes the indentation is showed differently than on other text editors.
For instance, try these lines in gedit and jEdit and you'll notice that the third backslash appears as it is missing a tab in indentation.

#define PG_ALLOC(class) \
(pg_classes[class].pgc_ops->alloc ? \
pg_classes[class].pgc_ops->alloc() : \
pg_classes[pg_default_cid].pgc_ops->alloc())

My settings are set for 8 character long tabs. This is somewhat annoying, anyone knows how to get rid of it?

thanks

Try fiddling with the font settings.

Try fiddling with the font settings in TextArea options and Appearance. It could be the font you're using, the fractional font metrics, or the use of anti aliasing.

What version of jEdit are you using, and on what Java version?
