Known issues

The Formatted Text Control offers besides the DefaultTabstop value within the FormattedText class also the possibility to add user-defined tabstops with a different width than the DefaultTabstop value to paragraphs. Use the FTParagraph.addTabStop method. This also works perfectly. However, not only the user-defined values are written to the XML file when saving, but also automatically generated values whose "default" property is set to "true".

This can be quickly remedied. Just put the lines 44/45 in FTParagraph.getXML

// Encode the tab stop
sa.Append(str(tabStops(i).getTabType) + _
  TABSTOP_SEPARATOR + str(tabStops(i).getTabStop))

by

If Not tabStops(i).default Then
  // Encode the tab stop
  sa.Append(str(tabStops(i).getTabType) + _
    TABSTOP_SEPARATOR + str(tabStops(i).getTabStop))
End If

replace. This really only writes the user-defined tabstops to the file and reloads them. It also reduces the size of the XML file.
