[ST2/3] Smart Indent setting broken

#1

Indentation seems to be a problem quite a few people have had before:

https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/smart-indent-bug/4709/1
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11297868/sublime-text-v-2-0-how-do-i-stop-auto-indentation-on-new-lines-after-bracket

They (including me) are all basically saying the same thing: Why is it that disabling smart_indent does not disable the “smart” part of the indenting system?

The smart system’s not exactly very good, either; here’s me typing code in Lua with no tabbing:

[code]if 5 then

end

if 5 then

end[/code]

This kind of inconsistency is frustrating and awful for a workflow. It’s really the only thing that’s stopping me from deploying Sublime Text to the devices I own, and for such an old bug, this seems odd.

My settings file for anyone interested:

[code]{
“auto_complete_commit_on_tab”: true,
“auto_match_enabled”: false,
“bold_folder_labels”: true,
“caret_style”: “phase”,
“close_windows_when_empty”: true,
“color_scheme”: “Packages/User/Twilight (SL).tmTheme”,
“default_line_ending”: “system”,
“ensure_newline_at_eof_on_save”: true,
“font_options”:

	"subpixel_antialias"
],
"highlight_line": true,
"ignored_packages":

	"Vintage"
],
"rulers":

	90
],
"show_line_endings": true,
"smart_indent": false,
"trim_automatic_white_space": false,
"auto_indent": true,
"smart_indent": false,

}[/code]

Of coruse; if anyone has a solution, I’d be more than happy to hear about it! Even so, though; it’s still a bug that really should be fixed.

Edit:
Just a note that this bug has existed since ST2, and is still showing in ST3.
