Description qptain Nemo 2021-03-08 21:23:53 UTC

SUMMARY
After changing the indentation both in the tools menu and changing the default indentation for a particular language in the settings for that language (open & save / filetypes), Kate still sometimes reverts to the indentation style that was default for that language, which is then reflected in the selected option in the tools menu. Happened to me with Pascal code.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. change the default indentation setting for a given language / filetype
2. change the active indentation setting in the tools menu as well
3. type code, press enter

OBSERVED RESULT
sometimes after pressing enter, the indentation setting will be reset to the original default for the language

EXPECTED RESULT
the indentation style remains to be the one selected by the user in both the tools menu and the language settings
