[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi all,

I see a mismatch between the docstring of a custom variable shown in the
Help buffer and in the Customize buffer.  To reproduce:

  • emacs -Q
  • M-x load-library RET whitespace RET
  • C-h v whitespace-action RET
  • Look at the docstring which look Ok
  • Hit the customize button which looks like this

[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

Note the extra indentations after nil and autocleanup.

I don't use customize very often so this is the first time I'm seeing
this.  This is with Emacs 29 from master (0fd60451bc).

Best, Arash
