This came with latest Netbeans update to 6.9.1 build 201011082200. Before that update, indentation was working as expected.

I'm editing Java code. Tools -> Options -> Formatting, Language(Java), Category(Braces): Class declaration, method declaration and other all set to "new line".

The problem is indentation of "{" brace on a new line. As I'm typing the code gets formatted as follows:


class A
{
    void a()
            {
        boolean b;
        if(b)
            {
            
        } else if(b)
            {
            
        }
        else
            {
            
        }
    }
}

Please note the "{" brace got correctly indented for "Class A" and wrong in all other cases.

Then, when I select above code and press Alt+Shift+F (autoformatting) I get:


class A
{

    void a()
    {
        boolean b;
        if (b)
        {
        }
        else if (b)
        {
        }
        else
        {
        }
    }
}

which is correct output.

This is a bad bug and renders Java editing feature unusable in many aspects. Please investigate it.
