The Edit->Compact text function may do bad things with your code.

(I assume in this example that a tab=8 spaces.)
Do  this:(not indented, start at column 0)
*xy++=' ';
with the space between the quotes on the tabstops-1'th column. Now there
is no way to see the difference between tab and space on this place, so
Rhide replaces the space with a tab. At runtime,a tab is written in the
string,not a space.

I hav not tested if the Expand all tabs function has an equivalent bug,
or if the same works in "double-quoted" strings.
