SSMS 22 still inserting tabs instead of spaces

Read Original

This article addresses a specific issue in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 22 where the editor inserts tabs despite the 'insert spaces' setting being enabled. It explains how a lesser-known setting in the query window's bottom-right corner overrides global preferences and provides a solution to switch back to spaces, applicable to SSMS 21 as well.
