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 Reporter: kloec...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 161612 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=161612&action=edit 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). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
