Indentation is broken in 1.5.3

Bug graveyard
1

When I press TAB to indent list item, instead of getting a positive indentation it gets a negative one.

So as you see:

  • the tab size is set to 2
  • using tab characters is switched off

Now if I change the former to 4 characters, the bug seems to go away:

With tab size = 3 the bug triggers even “earlier” on the 4th nesting level:

Thanks for pointing this out. It turns out the amount of spaces matters. Let me update my report.

Experimented with 3 and 4 tab sizes. Please check out the first message.

If I’m not mistaking, according to the Markdown spec, there should be exactly 4 spaces for list indentation. So I doubt it should be configurable at all.
