I recently upgraded from 2019 (v24) to 2025 (v30). I exported my settings from v24 and imported into v30. When I invoke the "functioncomment" aliases, or the "/**" comment expansion in the C/C++ "Comments" section, I see extra whitespace in the "param" lines. It appears that SE is trying to align whitespace after each parameter name and before the indent (tab) to allow for 6 character parameter names and have the tab characters all aligned. The older SE version did not do this, and I have not yet found a setting to disable this extra whitespace.
For example, the alias is:
/*************************************************************************//**
* @brief %\c
*%\s
* @param %\p%\i%\c%\u
*%\s
* @return %\r %\c%\v
* @return None%\vn
*
* Detailed description goes here
************************************************************************** */
When expanded, the param lines look like this:
/***********************************************//**
* @brief
*
* @param a \t
* @param bb \t
* @param ccc \t
* @param dddd \t
* @param eeeee \t
