Hello, sorry for the late reply. I performed a clean install, so I still have the stock config in /usr/share/vim

If I try ":verbose set indentexpr?", for a C file I get nothing, it just says:
indentexpr=

But for a Makefile (which also does smart indent), I get:
indentexpr=GetMakeIndent()
Last set from /usr/share/vim/vim74/indent/make.vim


My /etc/vimrc looks like this:
:set nocompatible
:syntax on
:set nu
:set iminsert=0
:set imdisable
:set noswf
:set ts=4
:set shiftwidth=4
:set autoindent
:set bs=2
filetype indent off


And I don't have any .vimrc or other vim config file that I know of.

I suppose I'll once again edit /usr/share/vim/vim74/defaults.vim, changing
filetype plugin indent on
to
filetype plugin on

So that it doesn't auto-load the indentation settings for the filetype.

It completely fixes my issue, but I still find it weird that the behaviour changed all of a sudden.

Thank you,
Jonathan
