Description Jon Skeet CLA 2001-11-09 05:29:59 EST 
In the "new lines" settings, I have:

Insert new line before opening brace
Insert new line in control statement
Insert a new line inside an empty block

That formats the sample code as:

{

	if (size < currentSize)
	{
		try
		{
			size = inStream.available();
		}
		catch (IOException e)
		{
		}
	}
	else if (size == currentSize)
	{
		++size;
	}
	else
	{
		--size;
	}

}

Note that "else if" is on the same line. If I tick "Keep else if on the same 
line", I get:

{

	if (size < currentSize)
	{
		try
		{
			size = inStream.available();
		}
		catch (IOException e)
		{
		}
	}
	else
		if (size == currentSize)
		{
			++size;
		}
		else
		{
			--size;
		}

}

Note that now the "else if" is split - ie not on the same line.

is the UI presenting this option properly?
Comment 2 Jon Skeet CLA 2001-11-12 09:32:42 EST 
Could you clarify exactly what you mean?

If you're asking whether the code formatter in the editor itself exhibits the 
same, behaviour, the answer is yes: with the option to keep the else-if on the 
same line ticked, the "if" appears on the next line.

Label has been changed (-> Insert new line between 'else if')
