Bug ID: 470272
Summary: Haskell indentation for “where“ seems broken
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 21.12.3
Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: indentation
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: evi1m4chine+...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When using the `where` clause in a new line at the end of functions, it gets
automatically unindented out of the context of the function.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a new file, set the mode to “Haskell”, and enter the following code:
someaction = do
let someLoopingFunction = someLoopingFunction' $
someComplexInitialState
someLoopingFunction
2. Now place the cursor at the end of “State”, press enter, and type `where `,
including the space, as you would do to then define `someLoopingFunction'`.
OBSERVED RESULT
When pressing space, `where` immediately jumps to the same indentation level as
`let` (2 spaces in this case).
EXPECTED RESULT
It should have stayed inside the context of `someLoopingFunction`. So at the
level of `someComplexInitialState` or deeper if the user pressed TAB first.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Mint 21.1 Cinnamon (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.7
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Generally indentation for `where` seems broken, as it causes so much trouble
that I am forced to disable automatic indentation completely, as it always
tries to act like it knows better and breaks everything. Since I haven’t yet
seen the general logic behind its behavior, I am unable to report if there is a
more general problem, and will only report the case I found right now. If/when
I find other variations or a more general pattern, I will report it when I can
reproduce it.
Note that I cannot update Kate or KDE, as this is the current version available
for Ubuntu LTS and hence Mint until Mint 22 comes out. (If there is a PPA
available, I will take it. :)
