Hi all,

you are right. Anyway, the current code for replacing tabs isn't buggy.
It works as intended only the indention is a bit buggy.
What I want to say, I wasn't aware of this problem but I agree that it
should be improved to not only stupidly replace any tab by some
spaces with the amount of tab_width.

Sounds good.
But I won't work on this, at least not in the near future.

Any patches are welcome.
If anyone want to work on this, the start should be
document_replace_tabs() in src/document.c:1802.

Regards,
Enrico
