Hello,
Thanks for your e-mail. However, no, it does not fix my problem.
Please see https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/WhiteSpace#toc9
There you can read the following:
;; WARNING: the mapping below has a problem.
;; When a TAB occupies exactly one column, it will display
the character
;; ?\xBB at that column followed by a TAB which goes to the next TAB
;; column.
;; If this is a problem for you, please, comment the line below.
;;(tab-mark ?\t [?\xBB ?\t] [?\\ ?\t]) ; tab
This is exactly my issue! When a tab is one character, I need it to
occupy one character, not one character plus a tab.
Thanks!
