Details:

Here is what to do to see the effect:

* Start Octave 3.8.2 with GUI
* Choose "Edit" - "Settings" and then the "Editor" tab
* Change both values "indentation" and "tab width" from the default value 2 to
the new value 4
* mark the two checkboxes "auto indentation" and "tab indents"
* restart Octave

My expectation would then be, that pressing the "tab" key in the editor window
would indent the current line by 4 spaces. But it still has the default
behavior and indents the current line by 2 spaces only.

Am I just mis-interpreting the editor settings, or is this really a bug? (Or
to put it as a feature request: I would like to have an options to change the
indentation consistently from 2 spaces up to 4 spaces.)
