I have a python tensorflow script that used 2 space indent. My Atom preferences have tab set to default: 2. When I hit enter after a : Atom does a 4 space auto-indent, inconsistent with the rest of the file and with the preferences.
In fact, a fresh install comes with the default set like this:
However, if I open a new file and hit the TAB button it tabs 4 spaces. This is bizarre!
I have just started using Atom, so maybe overlooking something obvious, but this is a frustrating problem.
