no auto-indent => so you are on the first column => so far nothing 
wrong? (you have not used the tab key, so you should not expect any 
action from it)

I updated the help:  
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/IDE_Window:_Editor_Options#Smart_tabs
Hope it is more understandable now.

   if Accept then
   begin
|
1 2    3    4   5


1 begin of line
2 first word "begin"
3 end of line
4 next word, but 2 lines above (first line long enough)
5 end of line but 2 lines above
