#63 indenting bug when trim trailing space is on
I'm using Syn 2.1.0.40 (and also noticed this with an
older version). Not sure how I can explain this
properly, but here goes.
When trim trailing spaces is on, and you hit backspace
on a line that only has whitespace characters, it will
delete any indenting and go right back to the beginning
of the line instead of unindenting to the previous tab
position.
To duplicate this, turn on Trim Trailing Spaces, then
enter this, where [TAB] is hitting the TAB key and
[BACKSPACE] is the backspace key
test
[TAB]test2
[TAB][TAB]test3
[TAB][TAB][TAB][BACKSPACE]
After hitting that BACKSPACE, the cursor will be at the
beginning of the line instead of being at the column
where test3 starts.
A solution to this may be that triming of trailling
spaces only happens when the file is saved?

Have you also tried 2.1.0.41? I did some fixes there.

I can confirm this bug using 2.1.0.45
When 'trim trailing spaces' and 'want tabs' are on, and you
press backspace, instead of deleting just the previous tab,
it seems to delete more than one tab's space.
To duplicate this, turn on trim trailing spaces. Make sure
that Want Tabs is also on.
Type in:
[tab][tab][tab]test1
Press enter, and you'll be indented again
[tab][tab][tab]test1
[tab][tab][tab]
Now press backspace. Instead of deleting just the rightmost
tab, it deletes more than that:
[tab][tab][tab]test1
[small gap]
The 'small gap' is less than two tab's space, but usually
more than one tab's space.
This bug does not occur when 'trim trailing spaces' is off.

Looks like this is a bug in the TSynEdit component (editor
component that we use in syn). I have checked it with latest
SynEdit sources - it happens there. Please report it to
their bug tracker. SynEdit project homepage is
http://synedit.sourceforge.net.

the "trim trailing spaces" option causes weird behavior with
tabbing. deselecting it solved the problems i was having.
one thing i noticed with "trim trailing spaces" on was that the
first tab from a new line will only tab out 3 spaces (with tab
size set to 4). the next tab would move out 1 space to
column 4, and all tabs succeeding that would then tab
correctly with a width of 4 chars.
