Re: [gedit-list] GEdit 2.30 Auto Indentation Behaviour Change?

[Dan Saul <daniel saul gmail com>]

Ah I see, Well I've downgraded gedit, gtksourceview2 (which is where the change seems to be made) and pygtksourceview2. I can only hope a configuration option arrives before I am forced to upgrade those packages. I love gedit but I don't want to have to fight it as DerekVeit says.

Hi,

I am running GEdit 2.30 on ArchLinux, with "Enable automatic indentation" enabled. Since the update, when i create a newline (#1) it indents properly, however if I then create another newline (#2), the preceding line (#1) does not have any indentation at all. The side effect of this is that when I go up to that line I have to re-indent it manually.

There has indeed been an intentional change in this behavior. This new behavior is more consistent with other editors, and also makes more sense because you avoid trailing whitespaces in files.

Is there any workaround to restore the previous behaviour?

At this moment there is no workaround to disable this (other than disabling autoindent altogether, but that's not really a workaround)
