Unable to edit '\t' in Processing IDE.

[kristof777]

I am trying to change the size of the tabs in my editor, but it does not seem to register settings properly. I want '\t' to resolve to 2 spaces instead of the default 4. I have tried fiddling with the following settings to get this to work, but none have altered this behaviour.

editor.indent=false editor.smooth=false editor.tabs.expand=false editor.tabs.size=1

No matter what these settings are, when the following occurs: def function(): <Then press the enter key> And the cursor will be 4 spaces in.

It would seem that the preferences.txt file is not being recognized, but when I reopen processing, and navigate to File-> Preferences, it shows the proper linked file with those set to the above.

Note: When I changed smooth, the text in the editor started looking very pixelated. This proves that the file is being properly recognized I believe.

It's been a year, and still no fix (Windows 10, Processing 3.5.3). Does anyone mind fixing this in Processing 4?
