I noticed this problem which wasn't there until a few days ago. When I'm in the developer tools, I create the CSS code on the right of the panel, copy it and then paste it into my text editor, it leaves a tab stop that wasn't there before. So the text no longer aligns completely to the left, but is positioned a little more to the right. Only the first line is correct, the others are not. It's not an editor problem, I've tried several, it's really Firefox that puts a tab in its code that wasn't there before. You can help me? I don't like this thing at all, I always have to go and fix the pasted text. Thank you

The copied text can heavily depend on how you release the mouse button when selecting text.
There are context menu items which are more reliable: eg Copy Rule.

We could try to make the indentation more consistent.
