Is there any way to fix this?

All in all, I really like Dev-C++, in fact, I am lately using it more 
than Visual Studio .NET (much easier to use), but this editor 
malfunction is a major irritant. I've been tempted to use MinGW 
DevStudio, except that it's apparently been abandoned. It's editor 
indents/aligns properly.

Is this a feature/bug/characteristic of Synedit or is it how it's 
configured in Dev-C++?

I'd be perfectly happy if I could just make it insert one tab each 
time I hit Tab, insert enough tabs to align with the first non-
whitespace character on the previous line, insert (only) spaces or 
tabs as directed and be able to turn "Auto Align" off when desired. 
As is, I spend easily a good third of my time undoing what it does, 
needlessly backspacing around, re-indenting, etc.
