Not quite sure how to change that preference, or what it means...

I've shortened the setting in filetypes.common to this:
    whitespace_chars=\s\t([
Feels much better already - not perfect (e.g. it doesn't stop at the end of a
line, and even skips blank lines completely), but it'll do.

FWIW, here's the snippet I've tested this with so far:

    # Python
    def foo():
        print bar

     // JavaScript
    function foo() {
        alert(bar);
    }

Thanks again!
