Changed to high as you can lose work just by typing!

Also, it didn't work in a blank file, because that didn't seem to do indentation even after getting tools->indentation->SS [sic - fixed in trunk I noticed!] style.

Is that another bug?

I'll try and fix this tomorrow.

Indenter depends on highlighter. Set a highlighting mode and the indenter will work in a blank document too.

Are you sure?

I did these exact steps:

a) Start kate (gives you an 'untitled' document)
b) Tools->Indentation->S&S style
c) Tools->Highlighting->Sources->C++
d) Type this:
int main()
{ <enter>

And it doesn't indent it. Maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks for fixing the other bug!

a) Start kate (gives you an 'untitled' document)
b) Tools->Indentation->S&S style
c) Tools->Highlighting->Sources->C++
d) Type this:
int main()
{ <enter>

result: No indentation

Now, step b and c swapped:

a) Start kate (gives you an 'untitled' document)
b) Tools->Highlighting->Sources->C++
c) Tools->Indentation->S&S style
d) Type this:
int main()
{ <enter>

result: Indentation works.

Reason for the bug:
KateAutoIndent::updateConfig() is called when creating an instance of the indenter, it then reads highlighting information and caches them. Highlighting is not set yet, so the cached infos are wrong.

That's why it works, if we swap b and c.

Fix: Call m_indenter->updateConfig() whenever the Highlighting changes.

Todo: find the right place for this call ;)

Maybe it would even be better, if the indenters that rely on highlighting connect themselves to the signal KateDocument::hlChanged().

Any comments of kate devs? :)

proposal:
1. make KateAutoIndent::updateConfig() a public slot.
2. connect signal doc->hlChanged() to updateConfig() in KateNormalIndenter's constructor.

SVN commit 577126 by dhaumann:

fix the bug state in comment #3 of bug #132835.
(This includes deriving KateAutoIndent from QObject.)
