I hope that confusion because of such information can be reduced further for
the clarification of desirable software behaviour.


> You mean the indent of the second line by "selected indentation"?

Yes. - You would like to achieve an alignment with subsequent lines after a bit
of text at the beginning of such a paragraph, wouldn't you?


> This is indeed treated as tab stop and a tab inserted left from it will jump to it.

Thanks for such an acknowledgement.

I find this information questionable.

I would like to achieve further improvements for this use case.


> Hanging indents are used for definition lists or play scripts for example.
> There too I have not seen such fill characters.

You might not use fill characters for tabs so often.


> So the question is, what is the use case of such fill character?

But they belong to usual functionality, don't they?


> Your request is valid,

Thanks for such a view.
Would you like to adjust the bug status accordingly?


> but implementing it, is risky.

I agree that corresponding software developments can become challenging.
