Description

The default tab size is set to 4 in settings, but it is actually 3 in the editor window when counted against spaces. Changing the tab size in settings does not change the editor. A restart is also not honouring the changed tab size setting.

To Reproduce

  1. Go to settings->Text Editing
  2. Default tab size is set to 4 spaces and Prefer Indent is set to Tabs
  3. Close Settings.
  4. Type 4 spaces in the editor
  5. Type newline and a tab
  6. Notice that the tab only equals 3 spaces, not 4.

Expected Behavior

Tab size should be equal to the number of spaces set in settings, by default: 4 spaces not 3.

Changing tab size to some other value (here: 8) does not change the editor (also not after restart of CodeEdit):
