[BUG] Indents are single spaces since latest update

[Dreamsync]

Describe the bug
Since latest update with new auto undent with multiple enter presses, the tab feature is now not working as expected - it is doing single spaces rather than full tabs. I can undent with shift+tab, but tab alone only indents a single space.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: OSX
• Obsidian Version: 0.11.9

I can confirm that it persist in plugin version 1.0.14
(@vslinko you may update the template to ask users about plugin version, and again thanks for your hard work )

Do you have steps to reproduce this behavior? It's working fine for me.

[Dreamsync]

I saw in Discord that someone had an unrelated issue with this plugin and restarting Obsidian fixed it.

I just now closed and reopened Obsidian and it solved the issue for me.

So, there is something funny going on, but i think we can consider this closed with the caveat that it should be made clear that restarting Obsidian is sometimes required to clear little bugs like this.

[Dreamsync]

I spoke too soon - looks like the issue is happening again.

[ShreyasKallingal]

Ah, yeah this happened to me. Probably best to keep this open until it's addressed.

[vslinko]

@Dreamsync Can't reproduce the issue. Could you please check your tabulation settings?

[Quorafind]

@vslinko I can repro it if I closed the option to use spaces rather than tabs, which is normal before 1.0.14. But things went normal if I open the option.

[vslinko]

@Quorafind Looks like it's expected behaviour since I added indentation detector.
When your choice in Obsidian settings to use tabs, plugin adds tabs, otherwise it adds spaces.

Please close the issue If you agree.

[Quorafind]

@vslinko yes, but I didn't find an option to close issue.. Sorry

[danieltomasz]

@Dreamsync should be tagged instead of you @Quorafind,
The intending behaviour on 1.0.15 works also for me as another affected user I think the issue can be closed

[danieltomasz]

in 1.0.16 bug when Tab sometimes create only one space instead of four spaces indent persist

[Dreamsync]

The issue persists.

I just now updated the outliner plugin to the most recent update, and double checked that the tab indentation setting is turned on in the Editor settings.

With outliner plugin activated, tabs are only creating single spaces.. if i turn off outliner plugin, tabs work properly.

[danieltomasz]

With tab turned off only one space to indent is possible to produce in outline mode.
This is produced when I try to outline

- A
 - B
  - C
   - C
   - D
   - E
    - F

[danieltomasz]

In 1.0.18 after update the behavior persisted, but turning on and off "Use Tab" in Obsidian Editor helped and Tab started working as expected, I will observe further

What I also observed that sometimes tab outlining on the existing row doesn't work and turning on and off "Use Tab" helps
(When I have coursor in the row with C, I cannot indent apart the very moment I created the bullet, it persist until I turn off and again on "Use Tab") It may be an Obsidian bug

- A
    -   B
    -  C

[iiz00]

In 1.0.18, even if 'Use Tabs' is on, indent seems to consist of spaces, not tab.

[vslinko]

Fixed one broken case in https://github.com/vslinko/obsidian-outliner/releases/tag/1.0.19 and also added debug logs.

Please check that problem is solved for you.

If it's not, please send video or gif with debug logs enabled:

• Enable debug mode in the plugin settings tab
• Open DevTools by pressing Cmd+Option+I or Control+Shift+I
• Reproduce an issue while screen is recorded

[vslinko]

Closing the issue. If problem still exists please reopen the issue or create a new one.

This plugin is amazing! however I've had the exact same issue.

The issue comes and goes almost randomly. I was about to record a video and all of the sudden the error disappeared. but it's the exact same thing where it creates spaces instead of indents.

I set things up in setting > editor as shown in screenshot above

It's after some times when I refresh Obsidian that the error goes away, but it comes back randomly.

If it returns I can record my screen with inspector to show

I'm on version 1.0.23
Linux Garuda
Obsidian 0.11.12

[vslinko]

Found another invalid case.

If Obsidian "Use tab" setting never changed, Obsidian says to plugin it's undefined and in this case plugin assumes that it's 1 whitespace.

[vslinko]

Should be fixed in https://github.com/vslinko/obsidian-outliner/releases/tag/1.0.25

Please check and report
