With the current jedit trunk (and also the previous jedit 5.2.0 release) I
get the following behavior when using auto-indent == full and
tab width != indent width.
Here is an example with tab width == 8 and indent width == 4.
t_ marks tab, _ marks a whitespace.

~~~~
int myfunc(int a)
{
____if (a==5) {
____t_  printf("Hello World\n");
____}
}
~~~~


But I would like to get (and I think this is also more correct):

~~~~
int myfunc(int a)
{
____if (a==5) {
t_      printf("Hello World\n");
____}
}
~~~~

So basically I want that the "printf" line simply uses one TAB and not a
combination of 4 SPACEs + one TAB.

The reason why I think this is more correct is, that when indenting the
whole function with "shift-TAB", then the indentation will be as in the
second example.
