Different indentation in Windows and Linux

Software
1

Hello.

We are working on project that needs a lot of different parts.
My colleague is using Kicad9 on Linux and I am using Kicad9 on Windows.
My colleague uploaded (using Linux) his part into shared library and after that I changed (using Windows) some stuff.
We discovered that Linux is using spaces in describing parts however Windows is using tabs for the same description.
Is there a way to prevent this to happen?

Which version(s) are you using? Make sure you’re on the same version since I have a feeling that these kind of things might have changed between versions.

KiCad uses tabs (on all platforms) for file format indentation since 8.0. Files that were only created or modified in an older version will use spaces.
