Hi!
Here is my small sample file (indent unit is 4 spaces):
-- -- -- --
$ cat indent_width.cpp
// Indent width, detect from content: 8 (wrong). Delete any line. Indent
width, detect from content: 4 (good).
namespace S {
int z () {
int i = 0;
char c = 2;
double d = 2.4;
d *= c;
return d + i;
}
}

In Geany, the default indent at me is 4 spaces.
Open the indent_width.cpp in Geany, issue an "Indent Width / Detect from
Content" command.
The indent is now (erroneously) 8 spaces!
Now try deleting a line (for example the "double d = 2.4;").
Repeat the autodetection: "Indent Width / Detect from Content".
The indent is now (correctly) 4 spaces.
Hi,
Well, the detection is a heuristic that applies some weightings to
higher indents, so deleting a higher indent line can potentially
change the results of the heuristic as you have demonstrated.
I don't know where the heuristic came from, but since there are not
lots of complaints similar to this, it would need lots of evidence to
persuade a change.
Geany's version is: 1.23.1 (current distributed (repository-ed) version).
I *hope* you meant 1.24.1 (which is the current release) or you should
poke your distro.
Cheers
Lex
