differents sizes for tab chars

hi All,

I need understand why tab chars have differents widths on one fld.
You can see it in the attached stack "ReplaceCommaWithTab"

Bonjour Jean-Marc,

They don't!

BUT your items are LONGER (in pixels) than the TABSTOPS you have set (75), so it only LOOKS like it!
Set it to 200 (like in my quick check) and see, they are all equal :D

Or simply check "vGrid" (Vertical Grid) in the inspector with TABS set to 75 and you will see what I mean!
