After several months of trying, and searching online, I have been unable to turn off automatic indent in the editor. I turned off "smart caret positioning". I turned off all templates. I tried several other solutions. The IDE insists on positioning the cursor to the same indent as the line above after hitting return. I find this behavior objectionable. More often than not when writing code, I don't want the next line indented the same line as the last line. When inserting blocks, the first line ends up wrong, with the default indent. I don't have any problem with others who like autoindent. I just want to turn it off please. If I create a file using file->new->other, and create an "untitled text file" using the wizard, I get what I assume is the most plain type of edit window possible, ie., no language associated with it. Typing: kdfjsf sdfsjdfkdsjf skfjsdkfjsdf Note that the third line is auto-indented. Thank you much for your attention. Eclipse is a great IDE, the price is right, and I have been using it quite a bit in the last few months.
Maybe you use some source code formatter. Could you please verify it and update the bug with the proper comment? Daniel

It happens in everything, including the text editor, which has no formatting at all. Again, please read the example given.
