Tabify does not work in VS2010 with fixed form files.

[JAlexiou]

In VS2008 with a fixed form file (.for) if I select multiple lines and press the [Tab] key I get the expected indentation behavior (Tabify).

The same is not true in VS2010 with the exact same file and sequence of actions. The [Tab] key inserts a tab character destroying my source file.

This is a big problem as reformatting code may accidentaly remove lines if not caught and undone. It takes two `Ctrl-Z` key presses to undo this action, and then the indentation has to be done in a line by line bases. This is Extremely annoying and I hope there is a switch or setting somewhere that fixes this issue.

PS. I have "Intel Visual Fortran Compiler XE 12.1.4.325 [IA-32]"
