Summary: Tab / Space Configuration Does Not Work in IDLE

Initial Comment:
On Python 2.3/IDLE 1.0, when I go from the editor to:

Options->Configure Idle->Font/Tabs

And set it to "Tab key inserts tabs" what actually 
happens is that the tab key inserts spaces (4 spaces).

Mmm.. I re-installed the Windows Python-2.3 installer EXE on 
a fresh PC and I have the problem, even when I hit "Apply" 
and "OK".
It is not a big deal of course, but would be nice if it worked..

I cannot reproduce the problem.

This may be a silly question, but did you click Apply after 
changing the setting?
