Wrong automatic code indentation

[cithukyaw]

I have a switch/case statement. The code block under a case statement has one nested level like below:

case 1:
    if ($a) foo();
    break;

I wanted to add curly braces to the if statement line. When I typed {, the code indentation was automatically moved backwards to the same level of case such

case 1:
if ($a) {
    foo();
}
    break;

Then, I had to manually fix the indentation to get it right like below:

case 1:
    if ($a) {
        foo();
    }
    break;

To get more clear picture, check the following animated gif or the original video file (if it is not broken).

I'm not sure it is related to Brackets core or any particular extension. My Brackets version is 1.3.

@cithukyaw What file you are working on (like JavaScript or other) If you want to make sure its not caused by any extension, reload Brackets without Extension (Debug > Reload Without Extensions)

[cithukyaw]

@prafulVaishnav The file is PHP. I reloaded Brackets without Extension. The problem still persists. So, I believe it is an issue of Brackets core.

I believe the problem is not particular to the switch/case statement only. I noticed that the same problem occurred with any parent outer if or any other control structures.

I can repro in the CodeMirror php mode, so marking codemirror.
Just to be clear: You've manually indented the if block to that level, correct? Because for me, it's at the same level the case is, at first.

Yes, I manually indented.

Upstream bug: codemirror/codemirror5#3252

This is fixed in the upcoming 1.4 release. The PHP mode's switch/case statements now behave the same way they do in JS.
Thanks for reporting!
