I tried both flags as you suggested. My original problem disappears but
a new problem appears. Actually, the "preserveindent" option seems to be
very strange in its behaviour.
Here was the original text. I highlighted it and press SHIFT + '>':
TAB>sprintf(szSomeVariable,
TAB>........"Some text %i, %i, %i, %i\n",
TAB>........some_very_long_expression_that_takes_up_most_of_the_line_#1,
TAB>........some_very_long_expression_that_takes_up_most_of_the_line_#2,
TAB>........some_very_long_expression_that_takes_up_most_of_the_line_#3,
TAB>........some_very_long_expression_that_takes_up_most_of_the_line_#4);
Here's what I wanted:
TAB>TAB>sprintf(szSomeVariable,
TAB>TAB>........"Some text %i, %i, %i, %i\n",
TAB>TAB>........some_very_long_expression_that_takes_up_most_of_the_line_#1,
TAB>TAB>........some_very_long_expression_that_takes_up_most_of_the_line_#2,
TAB>TAB>........some_very_long_expression_that_takes_up_most_of_the_line_#3,
TAB>TAB>........some_very_long_expression_that_takes_up_most_of_the_line_#4);
Instead, this is what "preserveindent" gave me:
TAB>sprintf(szSomeVariable,
........TAB>"Some text %i, %i, %i, %i\n",
........TAB>some_very_long_expression_that_takes_up_most_of_the_line_#1,
........TAB>some_very_long_expression_that_takes_up_most_of_the_line_#2,
........TAB>some_very_long_expression_that_takes_up_most_of_the_line_#3,
........TAB>some_very_long_expression_that_takes_up_most_of_the_line_#4);
This is completely not what I was expecting. It preserved the whitespace
Ok, however the tab was inserted not at the beginning of the line before
the whitespace as it should be, but *after* the whitespace.
Is this a bug?
