Now that bug 39616 is fixed, the SyntaxHighlight extension is converting every tab to a series of eight spaces. This transformation prevents the fix for bug 57824 from having any effect on <source> tags. It's also inconsistent with the CodeEditor extension, which displays tabs as four spaces and binds the Tab key to the tab character (bug 39616). While an eight-character wide tab may make sense in some contexts, replacing a tab with eight spaces would seem contrary to user intent in the vast majority of cases.
Possibly a regression of bug 30930?
