Noticed a problem since the last upgrade, and I'm wondering if anyone else has seen it ... when I load files with default tab stops (0.5"), they're displayed with 0.25"-wide tabs instead. New tabs show up correctly, and when I start typing on an existing paragraph it often readjusts the tab to the correct spacing again (for just that paragraph).
Double-checked the settings, and it definitely says the default tab spacing is still 0.5".
Tab weirdness.
Here's a sample file.
This file has showed the problem before (though not always -- see below). It's basically a dummy I wrote as a test: if it displays correctly, you get a neatly spaced table with a colored stripe across the entire top, but when the bug pops up, the table's scrambled and the stripe only extends halfway. (Or appears to -- I think the tabs are saving correctly, they're just not displaying right all the time).
Unfortunately, it also seems to be a Heisenbug: it doesn't always show up (even in the same file), and I haven't narrowed down when it will or won't. Hence my question as to whether anyone else has had a similar experience.

We have managed to reproduce a situation when tab characters do not have proper width. For this, the default tab width should be changed through the “Format | Tabs…” dialog. Then if you use Undo/Redo, the default tab width is not switched on the monitor screen. As I understand, you meant this. This bug does not affect the document contents indeed. If you simply re-open your document, the display would be OK. A fix will be included in the next build or release of Atlantis. Thanks.
Re: Tab weirdness
Greetings--
I have created a similar document using columns instead of tabs.
Please have a look.
