I’m on v2 2165. I added “tab_size” : 2 to the User File Settings. It works more of the time than not but frequently reverts to 4 spaces for a tab in ways I can’t reproduce. I altered the default settings as well to know affect. If I exit and restart it will honor the setting but at some point reverts back. Is anyone else having this problem and does anyone know how to fix it please?
Tab size reverts to 4
I’m having the same issue despite having already set “detect_indentation”: false. Strangely, it only seems to be happening with .yml docs. Is it possible that the syntax definition is overruling the user-prefs? If so, how do I override this?
User Preferences supersede syntax-specific which supersedes default
Make sure it’s in User/Preferences.sublime-settings

Thanks for the help! But my preferences are indeed in the user folder. In any case, according to the docshttp://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/settings.html,
[quote]Settings files are consulted in this order:
Packages/Default/Preferences.sublime-settings
Packages/Default/Preferences ().sublime-settings
Packages/User/Preferences.sublime-settings
Packages//.sublime-settings
Packages/User/.sublime-settings

But I’ve checked the Packages/ directory and there’s nothing there.

After further testing. I believe the problem was initially about the auto-detect, but I foolishly forgot to restart the program or even to close and reopen the files I was working on. That’s embarrassing, but I guess I’ll just know better for next time.
Thanks for your help!
