V4.0.0 CrossStudio Tab Width 4 doesn't work

When I set the editor formatting tab width to 4 it still shows tabs as 8 positions.

  Hi Kevin,

  It is working for me - the settings are in the Languages environment options group, so to configure tabs on C/C++ files you need to click Tools > Options... and set Languages > C and C++ > Tab Size to 4 and Languages > C and C++ > Use Tabs to Yes to make the editor insert tabs rather than spaces when indenting.

  It is possible you are using Text Editor > Formatting > Tab Width - this sets the tab width for the clang code formatter.

  Regards,

  Jon

  If you're using gcc you might also add the additional C/C++ Compiler Option

  -ftabstop=4

  So gcc can know how far tab indentation is so it can correctly warn about indentation not matching the syntax, enabled by -Wall and -Wextra.

  I don't know if there's an equivalent for clang.
