Problem

Symptoms: Text for a specific tab stop moves when a user readjusts another tab stop. Solutions: This feature is working as designed. To demonstrate this, follow the steps below:
1.      Set two tabs, a left align tab at 2" and a right align tab at 6"
2.      Type text up to position 1.5"
3.      Press Tab twice and type more text
4.      Press Enter and repeat steps 2-3
5.      Place the cursor after the Tab Set code at the beginning of the document
6.      Go into the Tab Set menu (Shift-F8, 1, 8)
7.      Place the cursor under the tab stop at 2"
8.      Press Ctrl-Left Arrow and move the tab stop to 1.5"

Notice that the text shifts at the second tab stop to a left align tab. This occurs because the first tab was moved to the left past the ending of the text. This caused the first tab to be converted to a right align tab and the second to a left align tab. Therefore the text at the second tab setting changes position.
