Description yisibl 2016-01-03 23:39:26 PST 
As per the CSS Text Module Level 3 specification, one should be able to specify a tab-size property as either an integer (number of white spaces), or as "length". See http://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-3/#tab-size

However, chrome only appears to support the integer case, not the length case:
See http://jsbin.com/qocetori/1/

Blink fixed it in: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=386437

I think WebKit should take some time to synchronize the CSS features of Blink repair.

I believe bug 179022 and this bug report are the same. If this is correct, then one of the 2 should be resolved as DUPLICATE.

The spec on tab-size now accepts real number, not just integer:

Value: 	<number> | <length>

https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-3/#tab-size-property

testing tab-size: calc(10px)
