Xcode pretty heavily customizes the Cocoa text engine; even back in the ProjectBuilder days they had a bunch of custom editing subclasses. I wouldn’t be surprised if they implement their own tabbing for efficiency, since obviously the docs it works with include a bazillion tab stops. Text Wrangler doesn’t use Cocoa’s text system at all. It’s a variant of BBEdit, which has been around since the early ‘90s so it must have its own text engine. I’m surprised that there would be some arbitrary limit like 12 tab stops on a line. That sounds like something to file a bug report about. All they need is to change “kMaxTabStopsPerLine” to a bigger number like 100, right? :-p —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
