[Geany] Indentation problems

[Philipp Kalder]

Hello list,

I think I found a bug or two othree . . ., but am not sure. So I first write
to the list.
I hope this is the right place.

I have an apt-get install of Geany 0.19.1 and installed a theme from here:

http://www.barryvan.com.au/2009/01/geany-ide-tango-dark-colour-scheme/

I did this more or less before I really used geany. But I think some of the
issues started
first after the theme was applied. I also created a filetype.common as
mentioned
in the comments of the link above.

I installed a Virtual Machine Ubuntu 10.10 (same as my workstation) and
tested the 'fresh' version against the one I use:

1. Issue

In an Editor such as gedit or Editra as well as in Geany you can mark a text
and replace it with anything you have in your clipboard.
The usual linux behavior would be to copy the marked text to the clipboard,
so ctrl+v-ing would simply replace the marked text with itself.
After installing the above theme however, the behavior changes from Editor
like to usual. Which is quite inconvenient.

2. Issue

I have some issues with indentation while coding. I code in python. Pressing
Enter after a colon results in the next line being indented using tabs.
But my settings are to use spaces. Pressing Enter after a 'regular' line,
the indentation is done using spaces.
So I guess there is some problem with the implementation for python/colon.
Python sometimes really get's finicky about mixing spaces and tabs.

3. Issue

Is again related to the theme, after testing this in the VM. Auto
completing/adding for parenthesis does not work with the theme.
With the 'fresh' Geany closing parenthesis is added just as it should be,
with the theme it's not. Curly and square braces are added without
difficulty.

4. Issue

Might be related to no.2. Though the settings are set to use spaces,
pressing tab inserts a tab and even converts preceding spaces in groups of
$tabwidth into tabs
Moving multiple lines at once with tab, also inserts and converts spaces to
tabs. This seems not to be related to the theme as well.

So I don't know if these are 'bugs', so if someone know's anything about it,
please let me know.
Especially if it is a bug, that might already been filed as one.

Regards
Phil
