That's extremly confusing.
If "Tab indents blocks" is unchecked I do not expect the 2 following settings having any effect.
At least a hint is needed that says that these settings still apply for Ctrl+I/U.

And why do these setting change after each install?
I am changing it often but it keeps coming back.
And the settings are not easy to find because
1.) the split into spaces and tabs shows no expected number 2 (instead it is 1 space + 1 tab)
2.) I don't pay much attention because I expect these settings to have no meaning anyway when "Tab indents blocks" is unchecked
