What you are looking for is called "Elastic Tabstops". That feature will
reproduce your expected behaviour exactly.

Website explaining it all:
  http://nickgravgaard.com/elastictabstops/

Mantis feature request:
  http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=9650

Search the mailing list archive for 'elastic tabstops'. There is an
extensive discussion about this already. In short, it aligns text in the
same block. Resize the text in that block or before that block, it
automatically adjusts surrounding lines in the same block. The animated gif
in the Elastic Tabstops website shows this nicely.


I unfortunately don't have the expertise to implement it - I tried but
failed. :-(
