Version: 3.12.1-2<br>
Severity: normal<br>
Tags: patch<br>
<br>
Dear Maintainer,<br>
<br>
The editor windows do not update for changes to the tab-width setting in<br>
preferences->editor->tab-width.<br>
<br>
I was able to find a fix upstream in commit:<br>
089b74f6d1eb86fa8f27102bf3cf9f76d2e5c809 sourceview: Fix GtkSourceView tab<br>
width property binding (bgo#738001)<br>
<br>
I'm not sure the proper way to generate patches as I couldn't find adequate<br>
documentation (or help in irc), but I generated a patch file from that git<br>
commit.<br>
<br>
After manually applying the patch, tab-width works as expected.<br>
<br>
<br>
