Sublime Automatically Creates 2-space Tabs When You Want 4-Space Tabs

For whatever reason, my tab-width:4 setting sometimes gets over-ridden in a file, then I'm stuck with that tab width throughout. (I'm looking at you tab-width:2!)

I finally figured out how to fix this.

put

"smart_indent": false,

in user preferences

Which will almost fix things..

You'll notice that some code is tabbed twice in a row ...

just select all, shift+ctrl+p, choose reindent from menu

Voila.
Code beautifully tabbed with tab-width:4 as god intended
