The tab button no longer sets indentation - when the tab button is pressed, the cursor changes very quickly to a black arrow with a blue spin-wheel below it. ( see blue cursor on following image: http://tobiasahlin.com/wp-content/uploads/theCursors.jpg\).

Also, when typing code, sometimes when pressing enter, the same indentation level is not maintained - it skips further in, not at level on previous line.

This is using the Mac OSX version of DrJava in Mountain Lion, although I have also tried the generic .jar version of DrJava, and the same problem exists.

I've tried removing and redownloading DrJava but it hasn't helped. Have I got a dodgy preference file somewhere??
Would really appreciate a fix!! I love DrJava!

Thanks!

    Have also tried using CleanApp to try to remove all deposits of DrJava and then re download, Hasn't worked. Really quite confused, would really appreciate some help!

    Thanks!

    Hello,
    I have been able to replicate this issue in specific situations. Tab correctly sets indent on lines that already have code written. The only instances where tab did not work was on blank lines, or lines that only had brackets.
