IDE versus MSG Box - Field Tabstops

Are you implying that the tabStop list that Alejandro posted is somehow not acceptable? 



I like the "tabwidths", which is simpler to get my head around than the "tabStops", which requires just a little more effort to compose.



But he is hanging LC with that particular set of stops.

FWIW, LC recently introduced a new property, the tabWidths, which will 
accept those values.
