Since my last reinstall (arch linux, with gvim 7.4.2143-1) indentation has been acting up. Not sure if it's a change within vim itself, or applied by arch linux, but I now have automatic addition of tabs. For instance, when typing:

I was able to stop this behaviour by modifying /usr/share/vim/vim74, which had:
filetype plugin indent on

I took off the "indent" part and now it's working as before.

I'm still wondering if there would be a cleaner way to make it behave as before, instead of changing the global data files.

Thanks,
Jonathan
