When adding a tab on a newline, it disapear when you save. This is kind of annoying even if not a real issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an empty main
2. Move the cursor into the bracket
3. Add a tab if none
4. Ctrl+S to save
5. Cursor is back on lines first position

You can change this behavior in the Preferences, C/C++, Editor, Save Actions, untick 'Remove trailing whitespace'.

I did not know about this feature but now, it seems pretty cool. Even then, I still believe that this beahaviour for first tab of a function might be changed (or extra option). It could worth considering it for people who save their file after each line they type ...
