Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

    doc = KML.kml(
        KML.Placemark(
            KML.name(areaName),
            KML.MultiGeometry(
                KML.Polygon(
                    KML.outerBoundaryIs(
                        KML.LinearRing(
                            KML.coordinates("""

                                            """
                                             )
                        )
                    )
                )
            )
        )
    )

if you try to indent (with tab key) the coordinates lines, the first digits at the begining of each line will disappear. these lines were copy/paste from another file and they contains tabs I think my indentation tuning is with 4 spaces thanks

If you copy/paste the lines above into your spyder editor, you can reproduce the bug by trying to indent the numbers. I've check it works

my editing tuning (sorry it's in french) with 4 spaces for indentation

Hi @thierryhedde thanks for the feedback! I was able to reproduce this behavior. For now, one way to workaround this problem is selecting more than one line when indenting:

We will check this for a future release 👍
