Indeed I tried your code from Aug 15 and if you insert a character at the
beginning of the 3rd or 5th line, the indent/margin disappears. Then if
you backspace over that inserted character, the indent/margin re-appears.
I tried this in <3.20 and 3.22. Would you consider this a bug? I've never
reported a bug to GTK. What is the basic procedure?
