Doesn't align tabbed whitespace

[billynoah]

When I try to align selections which contain tabbed white space it doesn't align properly. Only workaround I could find was to convert all tabs to spaces first. Is there a better way?

What regular expression did you use？

I just used the built in "=" from the context menu. Should I be using regex to align content with tabs? If so, can you explain?
