Description
Running Version 0.4.3 (606), on OS X 10.10.2.
If I have a Level 3 item in a * list and shift it left (to make it a Level 2 item) with the ⌘[ shortcut, it goes one space too far. This doesn't happen with Level 2 items (since it can't be less indented than Level 1), but does happen with Level 4 and 5 items.
Demonstration here: http://cl.ly/Zoqd
I do have "Insert spaces instead of tabs" checked in settings, and if I turn it off this doesn't happen.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the list indentation behavior in Version 0.4.3 on OS X with “Insert spaces instead of tabs” enabled, using the ⌘[ shortcut on Level 3, 4, and 5 items. Compare the result with tab insertion disabled; done means shifting left removes only the expected indentation and does not affect the existing Level 2 behavior.
