No difference; sequences of 8 spaces in indentation are still highlighted. > > I see. But I think this has gotten sidetracked from the real bug that > > was introduced here.

Above you said that it "has never done > what you want" here you talk about a recently introduced bug. Two different things: * whitespace-check-indent-whitespace--when non-nil--doesn't play nicely with indent-tabs-mode; this has been the case for as long as I know. * Setting whitespace-check-indent-whitespace to nil simply doesn't work. That is, it doesn't turn off checking (and correcting) indentation whitespace. This is (relatively) new. > Please > tell me whether and when this worked correctly.

I'm not sure when I updated prior to my most recent update (April 1); it was a while. I'm in the process of checking out some older revisions to try to find when this worked; but so far no luck. I can say that it works with emacs 21.4.1. -- Braden McDaniel e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://endoframe.com> Jabber: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
