    It almost looks like there are tab characters being used even though you don't have that item checked.  I'm not sure what Git Hub does when importing code files, if it attempts to replace spaces with tabs or if, when you edit in Git Hub, it uses tab characters.

     

    Your settings in TestComplete looks right... however, it's a good rule of thumb to keep the same setup on multiple machines so you don't end up with mismatched formatting alignments.
