Write explanation for mixed Tab+Space indentation error

[chumaniz]

"Parse error: Spaces Used Before Tabs On A Line"

Steps to reproduce the bug:

1. Go to Chapter Animate the end screen transition #7, practice 2: The code will not run because I used a space before pressing Tab to indent
2. Create Sub Variables (position X and Y) then press Enter twice
3. Type in "draw_rectangle()" function then press enter
4. Press Space, then Tab and insert "jump()"

I thought it would actually allow me to do that

Gdscript doesn't allow you to mix spaces and tab characters for indentation. It's invalid syntax.

When you hover over the squiggles, does it tell you that this error is not documented and you should report it here? If so, please let me know and we'll take note to add extra explanations.

Yes it does tell me to report to you upon hovering over the squiggle Also, thank you for explaining this
