So I was working on Python files and no matter how often I reloaded this Python file it kept setting tab width to 8 characters, despite my Python configuration file having:
tabSize 4
translateTabsToSpaces true
One weird thing was that it explicitly said at the bottom of the editor that it was setting tab width to 8.
I had the same happening with HTML where it did not follow my tabSize 2.
Anyone else had strange tab behaviour like this? It kept repeating despite closing and starting Sublime Text a few times. And now a day later it seems to behave again.
