When nested indentation for {$IFDEF} is enabled, other compiler directives are also indented:

{$IFDEF WIN32}
uses
  u_dzFileStreams;

  {$L adler32.obj}

The line with {$L should not be indented

    This is working as designed. It makes sense because the {$L bla} directive will be ignored if {$IFDEF WIN32} is false.

    It looks wrong on first glance, though, but consider a different example:

    {$IFDEF WIN32}
  {$MESSAGE HINT 'Compiling for WIN32'}
{$ELSE}
  {$MESSAGE HINT 'Compiling for something else'}
{$ENDIF}
