Other questions

Does the issue still occur after restarting your computer?

Yes

Have you tried any other versions of NVDA? If so, please report their behaviors.

Already present in 2022.2.
And probably much earlier versions also.

If NVDA add-ons are disabled, is your problem still occurring?

Yes, tested with no add-on.

Does the issue still occur after you run the COM Registration Fixing Tool in NVDA's tools menu?

Not tested but unrelated.

Cause of the issue

In the GUI, the "Line indentation reporting" is one combobox, but its value is stored thanks to two separate values in the config (one for speech and the other for tones).

Solutions

To solve this issue, the easiest way is to have GUI controls match the config, i.e. one control matches one and only one config item. Thus there are two options:

1. Upgrade the config to store the required in a single item of type int or string, not boolean.
2. Or modify the GUI to replace the combobox with two checkboxes, one for speech and one for tones; the script controlling this option should then also be split into two separate scripts.

I prefer solution 1., which allow to keep less items in the GUI, especially in the doc formatting settings panel; this also prevent from increasing the number of tabs when navigating in this panel.

NVAccess,
could you please indicate if you agree with solution 1?
Thanks.
