I'm not really sure about this, but Vim might be inserting tabs every 8
consecutive spaces. Try setting list to see if there really are tabs
instead of 8 spaces and, if so, setting notabstop, eventually a retab,
might fix things.
I find that having a shiftwidth != 8 and expandtab mixes tabs and spaces
in sourcefiles, which is really irritating to some readers.
I use an adapted version of the snippet at [1] to always know if there
are tabs or spaces in my file.
