Dear all,

I am preparing a set of slides with examples of java code. I am using the beamer exporter, configured for using minted with the following options:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :exports none :results silent
(setq org-latex-minted-options
        '(("frame" "lines")
          ("bgcolor" "mybg")
          ("fontsize" "\\scriptsize")
          ("mathescape" "")
          ("samepage" "")
          ("xrightmargin" "0.1cm")
          ("xleftmargin" "0.1cm")
          ))
#+END_SRC

Also, I have my emacs init.org containing:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-src-fontify-natively t)
(setq org-src-tab-acts-natively t)
#+end_src

and later

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'java-mode-hook (lambda ()
                              (setq c-basic-offset 4
                                    tab-width 4
                                    indent-tabs-mode nil)))
#+END_SRC

Ok, now the problem.I want to export a slide with this snippet:

#+BEGIN_SRC java
class PrimeThread extends Thread {
      long minPrime;
      PrimeThread(long minPrime) {
          this.minPrime = minPrime;
      }

      public void run() {
          // compute primes larger than minPrime
          ...
      }
}
...
PrimeThread p = new PrimeThread(143);
p.start();
#+END_SRC

There is not tab in this snipper (I never use tabs in code, only spaces).

Unfortunately, when opening the tex file, I see that a tab has been introduced whenever 8 consecutive spaces are found, in particular at line 4.

Here is the produced code:

\begin{frame}[fragile,label=sec-3-2]{Thread implementation through sub-classing}
\begin{minted}[frame=lines,bgcolor=mybg,fontsize=\scriptsize,mathescape,samepage,xrightmargin=0.1cm,xleftmargin=0.1cm]{java}
class PrimeThread extends Thread {
    long minPrime;
    PrimeThread(long minPrime) {
    this.minPrime = minPrime;
    }

    public void run() {
    // compute primes larger than minPrime
    ...
    }
}
...
PrimeThread p = new PrimeThread(143);
p.start();
\end{minted}
\end{frame}

As you can maybe see (it depends on how your email client shows tabs), there is a tab character in front of the fourth line.

Where this tab comes from? Is there any org-mode variable I can configure to prevent this behaviour? I did a quick search on google, but could find nothing

Thanks in advance
