Tabstops are shifted with Unicode chars

Cudatext version 1.55.0.0:

I have a text document that is mostly in ASCII, with a few UTF-8 characters. I have tabs set to 4 and no spaces. That should mean that tab stops should always be set to multiples of 4, i.e. -- 4,8,12,16,20,...etc.

Problem in Cudatext (and not SynEdit) is that for tabs following characters above 7Fh, it will offset the tab stops so that they no longer line up, e.g. -- the text "> int/fix/flt/dbl" will display properly, but the text "≥ int/fix/flt/dbl" will not because the "≥" will cause the tab stops to appear at 5,9,13,17,21,...etc, instead of stopping at 4,8,12,16,20,...etc so that nothing will align with the tabs anymore.

Can you post here this small file?

I think a cut-and-paste of the following should do just fine ...

====================================================================================================
CONDITIONALS
====================================================================================================

X int
| int
& int
> int/fix/flt/dbl
≥ int/fix/flt/dbl
< int/fix/flt/dbl
≤ int/fix/flt/dbl
= int/fix/flt/dbl
TRUE int/fix/flt/dbl
FALSE int/fix/flt/dbl

I added issue for me. as temp workaround, set option "unicode_proportional" to true.

I don't know yet how to fix it, so pls use "unicode_proportional": true.
problem: if 6 CJK chars are typed, they cannot fit into tabsize=8.
