Hi,
Well, the detection is a heuristic that applies some weightings to
higher indents, so deleting a higher indent line can potentially
change the results of the heuristic as you have demonstrated.
I don't know where the heuristic came from, but since there are not
lots of complaints similar to this, it would need lots of evidence to
persuade a change.

I *hope* you meant 1.24.1 (which is the current release) or you should
poke your distro.
