I think this is one of the things already fixed in trunk version. Please test with it.

That did it. I suggest a bit more documentation on this feature.

Agreed there is little => buyt if you press F1 on this option-page, it should take you here:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/IDE_Window:_Editor_Options#Smart_tabs

It's a wiki, and you can edit it.
