Format Script changes spaces into tabs despite my settings to use spaces

Post by PNutts »

To help you better we need some information from you.

*** Please fill in the fields below. If you leave fields empty or specify 'latest' rather than the actual version your answer will be delayed as we will be forced to ask you for this information. ***

Product, version and build: PrimalScript 2022 Version 8.0.169
Operating system: Windows 10
PowerShell version(s): 5.1
32-bit version of software? No

*** Please add details and screenshots as needed below. ***

Attached are my Text Editor settings showing use spaces instead of tabs is set. There is no issue creating and saving scripts, spaces are used for tabs. When I format the script using the dropdown control on the ribbon home tab, spaces are converted to tabs in the editor. If I save the script the resultant file also has tabs instead of spaces.

Is there another location to set preferences or advice on what I'm doing wrong? Thx.

Could be a bug. I will send it to QA to check on that.
