Tried it but it didn't work for me: Opened subprocess.py in Spyder in a single tab, no other files are opened, switched focus to another app, waited ~20 seconds, back to Spyder, no indent guides still. However, switching the "Show indent guides" menu option off and then back on again brought the indent guides back (however, I know that trick doesn't work when I have 6-8 files opened in different tabs).

Pretty strange. This is what I have:
