I have the directive align_with_tabs=true but trailing comments are being aligned using spaces only. I have align_right_cmt_at_col = 50 and the trailing comment does start here.
example:



a = 2;             // comment (with spaces between ; and /)


I want:



a = 2;<tab><tab><tab><space><space>// comment (appropriate number of <tab> and spaces to get to col 50)


what directive will make this happen?
thanks
