smartindent breaks indented comments

[gmarmstrong]

Using set smartindent causes comments not indent. After using o to insert a new indented line, typing # causes the line to lose its indentation. Editing the line before inserting the # will work around this issue.

This is in Neovim v0.2.2, with the latest vim-nix and a minimal init.vim.

Could you give an example?

:set smartindent causes this:

Weird, that doesn't happen for me. I'll try to reproduce with a minimal vim_configurable.

I tried using the same minimal ~/.vimrc with Neovim and Vim 8.0. The issue only appears in Neovim.

Looks like Neovim usually interacts differently with smartindent (neovim/neovim#7702), so I'll just disable that option in my config. Thanks!

I have the same issue. I'm running neovim 0.4.4.

I have set noautoindent and set nosmartindent and the issue persists.

@peperunas NVIM v0.9.1 here, and everything works fine after set nosmartindent.

According to LunarVim/LunarVim#3219, smartindent is deprecated in favor of cindent and should not be set.

neovim's docs for indentation:

'autoindent'	uses the indent from the previous line.
'smartindent'	is like 'autoindent' but also recognizes some C syntax to
		increase/reduce the indent where appropriate.
'cindent'	Works more cleverly than the other two and is configurable to
		different indenting styles.

So just disable smartindent and autoindent.
