Why is notepad++ intending with double tab?

Question

I just noticed that everytime when i copy some text from netbeans to notepad++ and then copy&paste it back to netbeans, everything is intended with double tabs.

Original

$.ajax
(
    "ajax.php",
    {
        type: "POST",
        dataType: "json",
        ...

After Pasting from Notepad++ to Netbeans

$.ajax
(
        "ajax.php",
        {
                type: "POST",
                dataType: "json",
                ...

Is there a setting in notepad++ which allows me to stop this behaviour?

Notepad++ tabs are at 4 character boundaries, by default. But they are tab characters. See menu => Settings => Tab settings. Many other programs take tabs to be at 8 character boundaries.

You can see the tab characters by enabling menu => View => Show symbol => Show white space and tab.
