`tab_width` and `indent_size` shouldn't be mutual exclusive

HarfBuzz (a highly used font related Linux package) uses a mix of tabs and spaces, see this for example https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/pull/292

• I have a question that is specific to this extension; thus, inappropriate for the main EditorConfig issue tracker.
• I tried running code --disable-extensions and the issue did NOT present itself.

Issue

	Visual Studio Code	editorconfig-vscode
Version	1.20.1	0.12.1

Root .editorconfig File

root = true

[*.{c,cc,h,hh}]
indent_style = space
tab_width = 8
indent_size = 2

Are there any other relevant .editorconfig files in your project? No

File opened

Open https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/blob/master/src/hb-aat-layout-morx-table.hh with vscode

Expected behavior

What is expected is somewhere between having or not having of indent_size, for example on this file it should be looked like and will happen if I remove indent_size = 2 from .editorconfig: however the issue is if I comment that line out and try to write something on a function block it will become like:

Actual behavior

But without commenting indent_size = 2 that it will look like:

The technical limitation in VS Code has been fixed by https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/pull/62079, which will hopefully be in the 1.32 release.

So, this issue can be re-opened. The editorconfig extension will need to be modified to use the new editor.indentSize setting.

having this file I guess.

By file I meant this issue, that you’ve closed it correctly, not the .editorconfig, which does some other good things 😃 (and I am switching between the two modes, indent_size = 2 for editing, #indent_size = 2 for viewing, so it has some use to me at least 😛)
