TabStops in TppMemo

rbuser

Hi!
I have some trouble to use TabStopPositions in TppMemo.
My TppMemo is 7" wide. I am using Arial 8.
I want to setup tabstops every 0.6"

Help states that tab stops are in ruler units (in my case inches) and I can
specify only one value, which will be used for all of the tabs.
It looks that for TabStopPositions [0.6] tabs are still every 8 characters
(which is around 0.5"). Using any value below 1" gives the same result.
Making TabStopPositions[1] causes mess: the text wrapps around. Multiple
valued in TabStopPositions do not help either.

What am I doing wrong?
Any help will be appreciated

From Help:
"The relative position of each tab stop specified in the ruler units of the
report (these values should be in increasing order.) If a line of text
contains more tabs then there are tab stop positions, tab positioning
continues based on the windows default (eight characters of average width
for the selected font.) If you specify only one tab stop, then that tab stop
is used to position all of the tabs for the line."

It works fine in tests here using RB 7.02. The text wrapping logic was
re-written for RB 5.55.

Here is the project I tested which you can download.
