This is correct behaviour. According to vim's help the ai option makes
it copy the indent of a previous line. So if you indent a line and press
enter, the next line is indented automatically. This function does no
syntax checking, it just keeps the current indentation. Maybe there is
something in the syntax files that can do this (aside from syntax
highlighting). Anyway, I prefer to do my own indenting of source code.
(2, 4 spaces, tabs, put '{' on new lines or at eol... lots of room for
personal preference).
with kind regards, Rogier Steehouder
