Spaces are not being used to align variables in Javascript var statement

Prettier 1.18.2 Playground link

--parser babylon
--single-quote
--tab-width 4
--use-tabs

Input:

function test() {
	var bla,
	    zever = 1;
}

Output:

function test() {
	var bla,
		zever = 1;
}

Expected behavior:

The original tab whitespace directly in front of zever is used for positioning, not for indenting. Prettier should NOT replace that with a tab because it breaks the positioning (as you can see on this page, where tabs are 8 characters wide)

[lydell]

Someone on my team keeps on using prettier, while the rest of us don’t. Whenever he commits something, ALL the spaces get turned into tabs, which pollutes the diff a lot more

Then you have a very simple solution to your problem: Ask this person to stop using Prettier! Tell them that it causes unnecessary diff which makes PRs harder to review and increases the risk of merge conflicts.
