This works for me - if you press }, it should get unindented. How did
you enter the code (copy-paste or something like that)?

Your regex is not correct - the (un)indent_this_line_regex is
evaluated every time you press a key and if it is satisfied, the
current line gets (un)indented. So with ^[[:blank:]]*\\}.*$ you used,
the regex first matches

}

and after you type ";", it again matches

};

so it unindents twice. This means the last character in the regex
should be the one that causes the change of indentation "}" in this
case.

Cheers,

Jiri
