This is some code in python using pygame. "|1" and "|2" represents the locations where I'm experiencing the issue (They are not really in the code). If I want to type in another "elif" when the cursor is at |1 it automatically indents what im typing to |2. This also seems to happen in other cases with the same "scenario". I wrote a similar program before on a different computer using kubuntu 17.10 and kate 17.04.3 where this didn't happen ever. 
I expect automatic indentation when making a new line after a colon but not in cases like this one. I can get annoying when writing code with a lot of different indentation levels.
