indent_style = space in .editorconfig is not respected by shfmt

[Karmenzind]

The file is:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

if [[ true ]]; then
    echo 1  # leading with 4 spaces
fi

And shfmt will change the leading spaces to tab:

My ~/.editorconfig:

root = true

# Unix-style newlines with a newline ending every file
[*]
end_of_line          = lf
insert_final_newline = true
indent_style         = space
indent_size          = 4

[*.sh]
indent_size        = 4
indent_style       = space
shell_variant      = bash
binary_next_line   = false

switch_case_indent = true
space_redirects    = true
keep_padding       = true

function_next_line = false

What shfmt version are you running? Did you double check this? Because we have code and tests for this feature, so this seems odd.

Sorry for the missing information. I'm using the latest version 3.9.0:

added cat -T to visualize the tabs

Does your shell script file have a .sh file extension? If not you might need to use [[shell]] instead of or in addition to [*.sh].
