It does not appear to be a vimrc issue, because I've tried the troubleshotting page here, with no joy:

Many thanks to Jürgen and Christian for your help! The .gvimrc file was overriding the .vimrc file for the tabstop setting, so that was one problem. Then I actually had tabs in the file, as noted by others. I don't actually want those tabs in there, so the :1,$s/\t/ /g command replaced all tabs by four spaces like I want. Now MacVim looks just like Windows.

Cheers.
