[Eric] Editor

[Albert Zeyer]

Hi,

There are multiple problems in the editor (probably that's all  
QScintilla).

(Again, my environment is Eric 4.2.1 (r2426) on MacOSX with Python  
2.5.1.)

1st: I set the tab with size to 4 characters under options (and I  
activated monospace font per default). When I press tab in the editor  
(I selected "use tabs for indent"), the tab is not 4 characters long  
(or at least it does not seem to be that long; it seem to be about  
1.75 characters long). Perhaps the font size used for the tab is  
different than for the rest of the code? How can I change that? When I  
disable the "use tabs for ident" and I press tab, it inserts 4 spaces  
which also look like 4 spaces. Therefore it only seems to be a problem  
with the tab character (or how it is displayed).

2nd: When I press enter somewhere in the code, it tries to use the  
same identation as the line above (which is what I want). Though, it  
often fails and the identation is different. (I am not sure if I can  
attach any images to the mail. I will therefore write another mail  
where I attach a screenshot.)

3rd: The font size of brackets ("()") is smaller than the rest. This  
looks a bit strange when I insert a bracket. I press "(" and it  
automatically inserts the ")". The input is then between the "(" and  
")", though it looks on the screen if the input would be behind the  
")". (Look at the screenshot.)

Regards,
Albert
