Maybe there is a mix of tabs and spaces?
Tabs are displayed according to terminal settings and if they are
different in the editors, tabs are displayed differently.
Have a look at variable indent-tabs-mode in Emacs (c-h v
indent-tabs-mode).
Look for tabs in the file and see if some of the tabs have been
replaved by spaces (c-s c-q c-i c-s c-s).
