tabs stops incorrect after upgrade - cant modify

Asked by alienheartbeat

I upgraded from 0.28 to 0.49
and now all my wiki pages are misaligned
as the no of chars used for the tab count is not the same
and my setting for it seems to be ignored.

in ~/.config/zim/style.conf
style.conf initially set
 tabstop = 30 # pixels
I changed to
 tabstop = 64 # pixels
to match the setting I had in zim 0.28
(I set this setting to try to match the tab stops in kwrite -
  it worked reasonably well but not perfectly).

  This should give me a tab spacing of about 10 chars
  but despite changing tabstop to 64 pixels
my tabstops are still at about 4.5 chars
the same as they were with 30 pixels
so all text is hopelessly out of alignment.

nb: I am using the font Liberation Sans 10
as I did in zim 0.28.

Note that other setting changes I have made to style.conf are honored.

Any help appreciated. I have several hundred (misaligned) pages in several wikis.

MIght be a bug in handling the tabstop setting - could you change it
from a question to a bug report? Than I will look into it in my next
round of bug squatting.

Have done so.

Also posted a different tab handling problem in a separate bug report.
