Discussion

This bug appears only if Tab character (\t) is used as indent. It is well known that using spaces instead of tabs is associated with an 8.6% higher salary for coders, even if they have the same amount of experience. So those poor coders beg for mercy.

@Waqar144, is this something you could handle in qmarkdowntextedit?
