Description terje7601 2015-08-20 08:40:25 UTC

To reproduce, create a new HTML5/JS Application. Format the created index.html & save the changes. If you do format again now, the file has been changed again.

The expected behavior is: if I do format and save. And then immediately do format again, the file is not changed & not marked as such by NetBeans either.

I cannot reproduce this with default formatting. Do you have a special formatting values? Can you try this with new/empty userdir? Thank you

> I cannot reproduce this with default formatting.
Yes, it's not reproducible with default formatting values. However, it's 100% reproducible with special formatting values.

> Do you have a special formatting values?
I changed the formatting values for HTML -> Tabs And Indents as follows:
uncheck "Use All Languages Settings"
uncheck "Expand Tabs to Spaces"
set "Number of Spaces per Indent" to 2
set "Tab Size" to 4

> Can you try this with new/empty userdir?
Both cachedir and userdir are new.

The issue was caused by always changing tab sometimes changing same 1 tab with 1 another tab.
