Tab / indent / auto indent question
Goal: Only auto-indent when line above contains at least one non-whitespace character.

Fresh install of 11.0.5

Copy 'Pascal' configuration (makes 'Pascal2')

Select new 'Pascal2' configuration

Go to Tools->Properties for Current Configuration->General tab, click Tab/Indent button

Use following settings:

* Enable Auto Indent
* Use Regular Expressions
* Tab columns: 4
* Indent columns: 4

Begin Indent: (empty field)
End Indent: (empty field)
End of Statement: (empty field)
Ignore After (Regular Expression): ^\s*$

This does not work as I expected: If I press Enter and line above is empty or has only whitespace, I get an indent.

If I uncheck the "Use Regular Expressions" option, it then works as I expected: Indent is only inserted if previous line contains at least one non-whitespace character.

Question: Is this the expected behavior, or am I not understanding these options correctly?

Thanks

Bill

Hello,

Can you please try the latest beta version at http://www.emeditor.com/modules/newbb/viewforum.php?forum=12 and see if you can reproduce the issue?

If you can reproduce the issue, I would appreciate if you can explain the details how I could reproduce the issue.

Thank you!

Hi Yutaka,

I downloaded latest 11.1.9 beta 32-bit portable and the problem is exactly the same: Uncheck "Use regular expressions", and "ignore after" works. Check it again, and "ignore after" does not work.

To reproduce, follow exact steps at beginning of thread.

Thanks!

Bill

Hello,

I reproduced this issue, and I now understand. I fixed the issue on v11.1.10. I apologize not trying to reproduce the issue earlier.

Thank you!
