[Bug]: Inconsistent indent with Tab Key

[manngo]

Describe the bug

I have set up a Tab Size to 4. I note that pressing the tab key generates a genuine tab, which is what I prefer, so that’s fine.

However, if I highlight some code and indent, either with the tab key or cmd-] the code is indented with two spaces. Apart from not being what I asked for, it will create real problems with Python snippets.

To reproduce

1. In Settings, set the tab size to 4.
2. On an empty line press tab a few times. Note the tab size and the fact that the tab is a single character.
3. Enter a few lines of code.
4. Highlight the code and indent using, say, the tab key. Note that the indent is made with two spaces.

I’m using the Mac version, 3.12.
