Custom tab size is currently ignored for auto indent when inserting new lines
When I use a tab size of 4; the tab key inserts 4 spaces as I would expect. But, when I use the return key; it indents with 2 spaces instead of 4.

In general, auto-indentation should respect the indent strategy it observes from the previous line you just indented from. I'm trying to edit some tab-indented code, and auto-indent uses spaces instead, which is very disruptive even ignoring the issue posted by the OP.
