title: Configuring tab space for Eclipse Compare Merge editor
body: <p>Is there a way to configure tab spaces for Eclipse Compare/Merge editor?</p>
  
  <p>I have the Text Editor to use 2 spaces for tab and "Insert spaces for tabs" but this doesn't seem to take effect in the Compare/Merge editor. It's quite annoying since it's occasionally messing up the indentation in the source code. I guess my other option is to use an external tool but it would be great if this can be configured within Eclipse.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using Indigo SR2 (64-bit)</p>
