Description

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

[regression] [worked-in:16.10.3] Indenting is set to keep tabs (block) for all languages. When I type

if (check) {

auto-brace is generated

if (check) { }

When i press Enter being between braces, new line appears with spaces instead of tabs. Cursor is placed in the left of braces position
