the Problem:

opening a javascript file,
our teamwide favorite displayed tab width is 2.
This is written to Preferences – MyEclipse – Editors – Common Editor Prefs

Displayed in the Editor is 4 spaces for one tab.
Changing the value in Preferences – MyEclipse – Editors – Common Editor Prefs to any other value -> apply -> then changing again to 2 -> apply – the it is displayed correctly with 2 spaces.

opening the next javascript file -> there will be 4 spaces for one tab again.

IIRC tabs/spaces in the editors was a big bugfix that will be comming in 3.8.3 any day now, can you hang tight, upgrade when its released, and let us know if that fixed it?

ok, i’ll look at it.
thanks for the reply !

When I use the javascript editor to edit a .js file, the MyEclipse common settings of:

tabs for spaces
tab size 2

do not work if I highlight the line(s) and then use the tab key. It works fine if you only want to do one line, but not for highlighted.

They work fine in the jsp editor inside the script tags.

Thanks,
Geoff

Geoff,
You mean to perform multi-line indents, it is not working?

[Geoff]

Correct

[Riyad Kalla]

I will file the issue, thank you.

It uses tabs instead of the spaces — also it shows a tab width of 4 even though I have it set for 2.

I just came across this issue in the latest release of MyEclipse. Seems to affect only JS files. Single-line indenting works according to settings (2 spaces, convert to spaces). Multi-line indenting uses tab characters and displays them as 4 spaces wide. Has any progress been made on this issue?

Here’s my config summary:
