Changing a tab setting may move text that is aligned with that tab. If it is a single line, it is enough to have the cursor in the line of text, without selecting. The text may re-align itself if you change the type of tab. The text will jump to the next available tab stop if you remove a tab. Adding a tab may reposition text too. Sometimes adding, removing or changing a tab will have not effect. It depends on where the tab is and where the text is.

You could also be referring to default tabs, but they have already been set. You can change their measurements in tabs dialog box, but not on the ruler itself.
