The settings concerning indentation and tabs for the editor in theIDE are often lost (you set them and after restarting or setting another main package, they are reset to their default values of 4 spaces and using tab characters for indentation).
Moreover; when you check the setting to use spaces for indentations, still tab characters are used.
This was observed on windows vista 32bit using U++ r2083.

2010-03-14: Hmm; looking at the sources, it seems normal that these settings are saved per package. Strange; does anyone really want different tab settings per package? And the other problem I mentioned is because I expected the tab key to follow the settings and use spaces as well. Also looking at the sources, this seems not to be the case.

Anyway, I created a diff file to apply this changed tab-key behaviour locally for my own builds and, if you are interested, I am happy to send it.
