Hi all,

I see a mismatch between the docstring of a custom variable shown in the
Help buffer and in the Customize buffer.  To reproduce:

  • emacs -Q
  • M-x load-library RET whitespace RET
  • C-h v whitespace-action RET
  • Look at the docstring which look Ok
  • Hit the customize button which looks like this

Note the extra indentations after nil and autocleanup.

I don't use customize very often so this is the first time I'm seeing
this.  This is with Emacs 29 from master (0fd60451bc).

Best, Arash

This is because the doc string included TABs.  Now fixed on the
release branch.

Thanks.
