You seem to have a lot against leading whitespaces here, far beyond whether we should or shouldn't use them in these specific files, why is that?
Not a lot, but you are right, the point is beyond just Geany conf files.
There were, and possibly still are, a lot of things that used ini like conf files (or has everyone gone JSON/TOML?) and a lot of different parsers, not just Glib, so who knows if they accept leading spaces. Given that Geany does not know what parser is going to be used my feeling is that Geany should not by default encourage something that might not be legal. So 0 is the right default for Scintilla, isn't the property settable in the filetype file if the user really wants to use indents?
Maybe the property should be in the filetype file set to 0 so users can find it to modify it (cycling neatly back to the original point ;-)
And of course 0 matches the parser (upstream is the same, having come from this one I guess).
