else:
print(f'[{i-1}]', end='\t')
print()
for i, row in enumerate(in_list):
for j, value in enumerate(row):
if j==0:
print(f'[{i}]', end='\t')
print(f'{value}', end='\t')
print()

@hyderkh Thanks for the report on this. I actually repro the same issue, both in the interactive window and in our notebook editor. Looks like we might be accidentally stripping out leading whitespace.

@IanMatthewHuff Thanks for acknowledging the issue. Any idea by when it will be resolved?

[IanMatthewHuff]

Sorry not sure on that yet. We have a triage meeting on Thursday where we will discuss and prioritize new incoming issues.
