Description David Pickens CLA 2003-01-24 12:58:10 EST 
Since 2.1 M4, auto-indentation in the JDT editor appears to have broken.

I desire hard tabs to be 8, but indentation to be 4. I had it working this
way prior to M4, but now auto-indentation is 8.

Perhaps this is a repeat of bug 28454, but it isn't clear. The preference 
settings for tabs and indentation are confusing.

I have the "Displayed tab width" preference set to 8 (from 
Java/Editor/Appearance preference page).

In the Code Formatter/Style preference, I have "Indentation represented by a 
tab" unchecked and "Number of spaces representing a tab" set to 4.

Therefore, I expect auto-indentation to be 4, while hard tabs are 8.
If I am misunderstanding the preference settings, could someone explain how I 
can get the desired behavior restored for M4?
