For some reason I'm having an issue withe PB 5.42 ( Windows ) 32 & 64 indentation settings in the IDE

I have multiple versions of PB including 4.61 - with the same settings in each version - however 5.42 does

not work correctly.

Example : in 4.61


Display in 5.42


Anybody else have this issue or a fix ?

1st of all, I think you use the ";>" and ";<" the wrong way, because ";>" usualy increases the indent and ";<" decrease the indent.
Further I did not get the same result as you, because ";{", ";[" and ";(" are not defined as standard PB-Indentations (as far as I know) and so they are not defined in my BP-IDE to generate an indentation.

But I detected a very annoying behavior as well, since the IDE auto-aligns semicolon.

Foldable code like this does not generate the result you would expect from it:

I already asked on the german forum for a way to disable this really obstructive 'feature', but no one seems to have a solution to deactivate it any more.
Maybe this new 'miss'-feature is also responsible for the Problems you've mentioned.

Was not aware of the auto aligning of semi-colons in the editor. I have always used semi-colon and the curly brackets , square brackets , parentheses , and lt / gt as custom keywords for folding AND indentation - it is a great way to visually separate and label sections of code in the editor - to easily find specific sections of code and as a way of commenting / documenting source code. I much prefer the old way , but oh well. Guess it is time to create my own editor for the IDE !
