Tab size do not match in editors and final rendering
-
Tabs (ASCII code= 9) in editors are set to 8 spaces, but are 4 spaces rendered pages. When pasting pieces of code indented with tabs, it make things complicated Article wizard editor is 8 spaces for a tab, but rendered articles are using 4 spaces for a tab. Same in Q&A and other places I checked. Paste this in an editor (CP Wizard Editor) to see:

This is in Firefox, right? All fixed.

Yes :) Is it specific to FF ?

Kinda. Mozilla still doesn't support the standard tab-size. One needs to use -moz-tab-size.

Looks like I have to moderate my claim. Looks like it works in
textareaSo in Article Wizard Editor: - in Render mode, it don't work, tabs are 8 spaces. - In Source mode, tabs are 4 spaces. On FF :) Looks even more complicated:Patrice “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.” Albert Einstein

Have you tried Ctrl+F5? I'm not seeing the issue my end.

Thank you for your time searching. It happen that Suddenly, I see a change of behavior. My understanding so far is that in some conditions that I am investigating further, there is a problem with the css. I am using FF since years. For years, I have taken the habit to convert tabs to spaces before pasting in CP editor or textarea. Then I recently understood that CP pages where rendering tabs with 4 spaces. So I started to paste code formatted with tabs set to 4 spaces, prepared in my editor. Then today - textarea started to render the tabs with 4 spaces, I don't remember seeing this before. Article Wizard Editor: - before today, I don't remember seeing the <pre> background being applied in rendered contain of articles, and tabs were 8 spaces. - Then today, wizard started to render correctly while opening the page, then after clicking 'Source' button 2 times, new rendering lost the background and 4 spaces. - then now everything look fixed. Is it possible that someone fixed some kind of css override today ? [Update] or it is FF weird behavior.

Yeah - I did :) One bit you're missing is that we actually replace tabs with spaces on the backend.
