[scribus] Editing in Text Box

Setting Tab Stops in the text box is onerous and difficult.
I use tab stops very often in text boxes.

The 'L' shaped tab stops are 1mm wide and largely impossible to set accurately 
on the ruler and at the same time the cursor is a left and right arrow which 
completely covers the tab stop.

I have 3 requests please.
-- provide a dotted line the full height of the text box or some other 
verticalindicator that shows the tab position down the page.
-- use the tab stop as the cursor on the ruler.
-- make the tab stop/s work for all of the text box instead of just one line. 
This may be Styles issue but why insert a style for each line of text that 
needs to be altered when one tab stop could do the positioning.
-- change the tab positioning so that it positions where the cursor is clicked 
on the ruler.
Thanks
Roger
