It seems like the default CollapsedRegionQuickInfoProvider is displaying tabs as 8 spaces, while the editor default is set to 4.

You can see this in your Simple Language 5: Code Outlining demo.

Modify the first function Add(x,y) to include

function Add(x, y) {
<Tab><Tab>return x + y;
<Space x8>return x + y;
}

Then fold the node and hover over the '...' adornment.

Hi Daniel,

Right now that is just rendering using a TextBlock so I don't believe we can alter how the tab characters are spaced. We do have a TODO item to eventually change the rendered content to use an appropriate number of spaces instead of tab characters, which would work around this though.

Daniel,

We have some improvements in the upcoming build 515 that converts tabs to appropriate space characters and if a node's code is indented, it will also outdent all the displayed text in the quick info by the indentation amount so there isn't a lot of space on the left.
