But this specific setting is not under “Fonts and Colors”, it’s part of Text Editor | C++ Options (at least in VS14).

Thanx for the reply. I know, I can customize these options. But under VS I usually use TAB:4 and INDENT:2 (uncommon – I know, but historical). VS/VAX Code formatter and everything else works perfect with these settings.
But VDBG behaves different! I have to use TAB:2 for getting the same results (at least while editing) – which will actually destroy all my current code formatting.

How to test:
– use VS formatting, set TABSIZE=4 INDENTSIZE=2
– Enter:

void main() {
}

– Insert a line right behind the open curly brace and see how many indents you get
– now use VDBG formatting (project options..), use also TABSIZE=4 INDENTSIZE=2
– insert a new line to the code again..

even when the VDBG settings are TABSIZE=2, INDENTSIZE=2, it indents differently..

Thanks for the reply. I re-installed xming (an older release) and now it’s working smoothly.

As VAX user, the TAB settings are aparently not right in VisualDBG, as it takes the ‘tab’ and not the ‘indent’ value, when pressing <Enter> for a new-line..
