Is there a reason you are on 6.11?

I’m on 7.7 so we’re comparing apples and oranges

yeah it’s part of a production so upgrading is a process. I just tried 7.4 and it doesn’t have the issue, so time to upgrade!

Why 7.4 at this stage? 7.7[cs] is good!

heh yeah it’s just what I have installed. I do want to try cs

Can a bunch of insert, delete and tabify-selection and undos permanently mess up with DrRacket’s autoindent? indent-all produces completely wrong results after that. (edited, as may have been an XY problem)

or again, could it be because I’m playing with show-content and read-syntax, maybe badly interacting with background expansion somehow?

I had a quckscript once with some inerts and deletes, possibly with a non-ascii character, after which the definitions area started to act strange. I don’t recall the details, but will try to reproduce it when I have a chance.

The edits might even have been confined to within a comment, something like adding ‘●’ to each side of the selection.

Definitely no undo involved, probably no tabify-selection, in case you want to quickly check whether the insert and delete you’re doing is enough to screw it up.

Those were the scripts, commented-out in a larger file of scripts since they were causing problems. But I can’t recall what problem they were causing after use.

Thanks, I’ll give it a try
