This is an excellent reason to stop using U+0009 (HT) characters for indentation at all. Instead, set ‘indent-tabs-mode’ to false (‘nil’), and Emacs will indent with the specified number of U+0020 (SPACE) characters. You won't be at the mercy of the chaotic differences in rendering of U+0009 characters. -- \ “I went to a restaurant that serves ‘breakfast at any time’.
