Bug#780326: meld does not properly handle changing the tab-width property in preferences->editor->tab-width

[Dan M]

Package: meld
Version: 3.12.1-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

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.
