Off-topic!

It has nothing to do with programming. This is just the artifact of the editor you use; and you did not even provide any relevant information. Just don't post such things, no one has to care about your irritation. If you care, use some other editor or find out how to use this one...

Repeating Solution 1 does not make it another solution.

Solution 1

Its a small setting in your editor. In view, or in personalization or some similar setting, you must have checked the "Show spaces and tabs" or something to that effect.

Right, or "show whitespace". +5 for your answer.
