Steps to reproduce
To reproduce:
- Open the Sandbox Vault.
- Disable “Show indentation guides”.
- Insert a tab character and type any character.
Expected result
- Behave like the Legacy Editor:
- When you insert the tab, move the cursor the correct number of spaces (4 by default)
- Don’t move the cursor when you start typing
Actual result
- When you insert the tab, the cursor moves ahead more than the correct number of spaces
- When you type a letter, the cursor moves to the LEFT, then inserts the character

Additional information
Slightly more context here
Both this and Misaligned line gutters with indented text are due to what parser thinks those lines are (regular text, codeblock, etc) and consequently how they should be rendered (font, spacing, gutter).
This is a hard problem and, to be frank, is a very low priority one.
If you are annoyed by this behavior, I suggest you create a custom CSS with no customizations at all and a simple monospace font for everything, basically strip away everything and just have a really plain text editor.
Maybe that’s what we should do with “source mode” now that there is “live preview”.

That might be true, I don’t know. But I do know that the Legacy Editor solved this hard problem. It doesn’t experience this bug.
Might be solvable with CSS, but Legacy Editor works great for me, so I’m going to continue to use it.
This is a hard problem
Can you elaborate on the problem?
Not the symptom, obviously, I can see that just fine, but you know what’s causing it in the new editor?
Steps to reproduce
Create a new note, enter some text, then press tab to indent a level. After indenting, start typing. When typing the first character, the cursor jumps off to the side.
Yes. I use restricted mode and the default theme all the time.
Expected result
When I start typing, the cursor would not jump to the right.
Actual result
When I start typing, the cursor jumps to the right and text doesn’t start where the cursor is by default when indented.

Steps to reproduce
- Open any note
- Write a text in a new line
- Hit the tab on that text to offset the text one tab
- Notice: The cursor is offset from the start of the text (Image 1). Selecting the text highlights that there is some misplaced space? (Image 2)
Y
Expected result
The cursor and text should not be offset or separated from each other after a tab exactly like with bullet points.
Actual result
The cursor is offset from the text
