Description

When creating a snippet with the following two conditions:

The first characters of the second line is a tab stop
The second line has the same indent level as the first line

When the snippet is expanded, the tab stop selects the indenting before it.

Things that I've tried:

Adding a single character or space before the second line tab stop. This causes only the tab stop to be selected.
Using both the triple quotes and single quotes with \n character.
Several languages including JavaScript, CSS, Python, and C#, so it's not related to a specific language
With and without tab stop label, i.e., $1 vs. ${1:Label}

Here is the code I was trying to create:

'.source.js':
  'Extends':
    'prefix': 'ext'
    'body': """
      ${1:ChildClass}.prototype             = Object.create(${2:ParentClass}.prototype);
      ${1:ChildClass}.prototype.constructor = ${1:ChildClass};$0
    """

Here is what is produced:

Here is what I would like to see (and I think makes more sense):

Steps to Reproduce

Create a new snippet with anything on the first line
Start a second line of the snippet at the same indent level as the first line
Create a tab stop as the first text on the second line
Expand the snippet in the appropriate source file (again, only tried JavaScript)

Expected behavior: Only the tab stop should be selected

Actual behavior: Tab stop and whitespace preceding it is selected

Reproduces how often: Every time

Thanks for taking the time to contribute!

We noticed that this is a duplicate of #140. You may want to subscribe there for updates.

Because we treat our issues list as the Atom team's backlog, we close duplicates to focus our work and not have to touch the same chunk of code for the same reason multiple times. This is also why we may mark something as duplicate that isn't an exact duplicate but is closely related.

For information on how to use GitHub's search feature to find out if something is a duplicate before filing, see the How Can I Contribute? section of the Atom CONTRIBUTING guide.
