[Pydev-users] Indents not always correct

[Don T. <nos...@gm...>]

Fabio:

I am having some problems with indenting in a Jython file.

After I hit <enter> on some lines the editor places the indent about 28 
characters in on the next line - it does not seem to align with anything 
obvious.  If I then hit backspace then the cursor goes back 4 characters 
at a time but not to anywhere useful.  I have to backspace enough and 
then enter some spaces to get to where I want to be.

The following is a fragment of this file that exhibits this behaviour:

     class Paragrapher:
         def _analyzeLine(self, line):
             pattern = r'''(\s*#\s*|\s*"""\s*|''' \
                     + r"""\s*'''\s*|""" \
                     + r'''\s*"\s*|''' \
                     + r"""\s*'\s*|s*)"""
             compiledRe = re.compile(pattern)
             matched = compiledRe.match(line)
             leadingString = line[0:matched.end()]
             mainText = line[matched.end():]

Try hitting enter on the last line.

Don.
