Hi Russell, Try to show invisibles (View Menu -> Text Display -> Show Invisibles). It will display triangles for tab characters and dots for spaces. You’ll find that your file has tabs after the right parenthesis. If you want to easily correct it, you can then use the Detab menu item (Text Menu -> Detab…).
