Description: In tabBad.odt, item "aaa", style Reference (Tab at 0.25 in; indent 0.25; FirstLineIndent -0.25; graduation display shows Tab at 0.5, not 0.25 as specified —why?), is preceded by a Tab which is supposed to be filled by underline character; it is'nt —screenshot. In tabBag.odt, item "ccc" (same style as "aaa" above) is preceded by a Tab filled by underline —OK! tabBag.odt style Reference has Tab at 0.25 in; indent 0.25; FirstLineIndent -0.25; graduation display shows Tab at 0.25 —screenshot.

I don't think, this is a bug: Example with aaa has indent at 0,64 cm and tab stop with underlined as fill character at 1,27 cm. "aaa" is at the level of paragraph indent. If you press tab key "aaa" jumps to 1,27 cm with underlined as fill character Example with "ccc" has intend and first tab stop at 0,64 cm. So if you press tab stop at the beginning of the paragraph ist jumps to to tab stop 1,27 cm with underlined as fill character. => RESOLVED NOTABUG Please feel free to change it back to UNCONFIRMED with a short reasoning, if you disagree.

On the other hand, from the beginning-of-line, hit arrowRight: cursor moves to indent at 6.4 mm, where aaa is; hit Tab: cursor and aaa move to tabStop at 12.7 mm, with (as expected) fill character from 6.4 mm to 12.7 mm. This may not be a bug, but this inconsistent, bizarre behaviour, with partial filling from indent at 6.4 mm to tabStop at 12.7 mm, could be avoided if the Tab key ignored indents and led to tabStops only. Conclusion: Make the Tab key ignore indent, obey tabStops only.
(In reply to TorrAB from comment #5) > Conclusion: Make the Tab key ignore indent, obey tabStops only. Please open a new report as enhancement request. Thank you. Personally I think current behaviour might be inconsistent, but a lot of users would call a change a bug. But it's not up to me to decide.
