Eclipse code formatting is not aligning fields in columns properly

问题

Eclipse code formatter is not aligning fields equally with Align fields in columns option checked when field is of type int or boolean. Here's how it shows up after formatting:

    private Rect                mTempRect;

    private int                     lastClickX;
    private int                     lastClickY;

    private int                     mMaxLinesCount;
    private boolean                 mWrapped;
    private boolean                 expanded;
    private SpannableString     mLinkHideText;

I'm using Eclipse Version: 4.2.1 JUNO x64, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bits.

Solved!

The problem was that Eclipse was using a variable width font so that white spaces got different widths when code formatted. Solved changing the font to a fixed size one.

Reference: Different the width of whitespace in eclipse editor

I did this:

1. Go to Window --> Preferences --> General --> Appearance --> Colors and Fonts and then to Basic --> Text Font
2. Change font from Monospace 8 to Liberation Mono 8.

That works for me.
