I don't understand. If my .emacs is (custom-set-variables ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom. ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful. ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance. ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right. '(whitespace-check-indent-whitespace nil)) and I launch Emacs without arguments, activate `whitespace-global-mode', and open some file, sequences of eight spaces at bol do not get highlighted. Maybe someone else can check this. > * 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.

This is (relatively) new. I changed `whitespace-indent-regexp' in November 2006 from (concat "^\\(\t*\\) " " ") to "^\t*\\( \\)+" so maybe that's a reason. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
