Amount of spaces not configurable in eclipse mars

I do not want to use tabs for indentation. So I check the option "Indent using spaces" but I can't set the amount of spaces. The Plus and Minus buttons are not clickable and I can't edit the value by hand, which means typing in a number. Indenting only one space is far too little.

I remember some hack including editing the workspace configuration files but I can't find the correct file or page I once read it on.

I am using Linux Mint, Eclipse for PHP Developers 4.5.1.

This is Eclipse bug 479274

You can work around it by editing the indentationSize entry in the properties file org.eclipse.wst.css.core.prefs which is in the workspace .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings folder.
