Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

(setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)
I have set indent-tabs-mode to nil
This setting does not work during indenting with cua rectangle mode
The recent input below shows a test case:
Just go to the beginning of a line, hit C-RET
And hit tab to indent a line

I expect the line to be indented with blanks, but tabs are used here.

It seems that cua-indent-rectangle always uses tabs.
Kim, can you comment on this?

(defun cua-indent-rectangle (column)
  "Indent rectangle to next tab stop.
With prefix arg, indent to that column."
  (interactive "P")
  (if (null column)
      (cua-insert-char-rectangle ?\t)    ;   <-------
    (cua--indent-rectangle nil (prefix-numeric-value column))))
