[gedit-list] Tab to space expansion

["M. Arshad Khan" <khan m arshad gmail com>]

Hi All

I recently upgraded my system from FC5 to FC6. The gedit version bundled 
with FC6 is 2.15.9. One problem I noticed is that even though I have set 
the editor preference to insert spaces instead of tabs, the text still 
contains tabs.  There doesn't seem to be any way to get rid of tabs 
except to insert spaces manually. I compiled and tested the latest 
stable release (2.18.2) but the problem persists. Any help to solve this 
issue is very much appreciated.

TIA
