Public bug reported:

This request is based on the linked question.


**** problem description / workaround

-indentation tabs are not handled at the time a script is loaded into
the IDE, only when editing a script in the IDE. Or more generally: when
loading a script, indentation is not normalized according to the current
settings in the IDE's preferences.

- So you might come up, with a situation, that a loaded script does not
conform to the current tab settings and things get messed up, when you
start editing.

- A workaround would be, to change all tabs to the required spaces in a
capable editor directly in the .py files with search-and-replace before
loading the script into the IDE

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So when loading a script, the user should get a warning, when the
script's indentation does not conform to the current settings.

Options to be implemented and presented together with the warning:
- change preferences according to script's situation
- change script's indentation according to the preferences
- switch off indentation support for this script
