IDE adds spaces...

[Michael Vogel]

I was wondering why the Purebasic editor adds some spaces under certain situations, here's an example:

Code: Select all

Enumeration
	#highlight;		Grüne Felder
	#status;		Mausposition
EndEnumeration

Structure CursorType
	highlight.i;		Grüne Felder
	status.i;			Mausposition|
EndStructure

When the cursor (represented by '|') is set behind the last character of Mausposition and the 'Return' key is pressed, I will get the following result:

Code: Select all

	:
	highlight.i;		Grüne Felder
	status.i   ;			Mausposition
	|
EndStructure

So three spaces are inserted between 'status.i' and ';'. This is seen within the PB5.46 IDE using real tabs.

Auto indentation assumes comments must be aligned?

Interesting but weird - I would even say incorrect - at least when real tabs and proportional fonts are used.

Try to add lines here...:

Code: Select all

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii();		i
i();								i
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm();		m
m();							m

It is aligning the comment marks which is not an uncommon style to format comments.

Just because you don't like it doesn't make it incorrect. You can always turn the auto-indent feature off if you don't like what it does.

It's not aligned, what seems uncommon to me indeed.

I wouldn't expect to get any good results with proportional fonts when trying to align things up midway into the line where the comments take place.

Even so, it seems like it should work if only real tabs were being used instead of spaces.
