Dear Maintainer,
The editor windows do not update for changes to the tab-width setting in
preferences->editor->tab-width.
I was able to find a fix upstream in commit:
089b74f6d1eb86fa8f27102bf3cf9f76d2e5c809 sourceview: Fix GtkSourceView tab
width property binding (bgo#738001)
I'm not sure the proper way to generate patches as I couldn't find adequate
documentation (or help in irc), but I generated a patch file from that git
commit.
After manually applying the patch, tab-width works as expected.

Subject: [PATCH] sourceview: Fix GtkSourceView tab width property binding
(bgo#738001)
The tab-width and indent-width properties interact weirdly if they're
different. This was a breakage in the GtkSourceView 3 migration, so
just switch the binding back over here.
This might cause some pain in the future if we want to support setting
both for some reason, but I don't actually know why we'd want to do
that.
