Bug ID: 474505
Summary: Kate auto-detects wrong indentation
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 23.08.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: indentation
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org

Markdown file for which Kate auto-detects indentation width 7
For the attached file Kate auto-detects an indentation of 7. I think it
shouldn't assume any indentation width for this file and instead use the
default.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable "Automatically detect file indentation"
2. Open the attached file
OBSERVED RESULT
Kate automatically sets indentation to 7. Shows "Soft Tabs: 7 (4)" in the
status bar.
EXPECTED RESULT
Kate uses standard indentation, i.e. 4.
Even though the file ends with many lines which seem to suggest an indentation
of 7, there are many other lines which suggest indentations of 4, 12, 32. I
think, in case of an indentation histogram with multiple peaks without a common
divisor, Kate shouldn't assume a non-standard indentation. Or it should switch
from fixed width indentation to "smart indentation" (i.e. indentation based on
the next non-empty line above the cursor).
