Oops...user error
Perhaps replacing one of your users might be the solution :) I don't even
use windows *that* much, but its "tab" idiom seems to have crept in to my

As for visual clues; the only one I can suggest is perhaps offsetting the
top line to emphasize the structure. I suspect in this case though it is
simply the case that convention was a little unexpected.
