I fully understand that this may be a bikeshed, but I'll try anyway. The diff view in Gerrit shows indentation tabs of 8 spaces. When showing two compared revisions of the file, it makes the display very wide. On small screens this very often requires horizontal scrolling. I am not making any assumptions about the most common tab size among Wikimedia developers. I'm just thinking of being practical and helping people with smaller screen to do code review more efficiently. If it's possible, it would be helpful to define the Gerrit tab size for 4 spaces.
+1 for this request. I even use only size of 2 myself.
There's no way to configure this currently, please report upstream.
I should have looked for it better: it can be changed in the diff preferences and it sticks.
