What is the correct behavior of pressing tab from column 0?

Asked by Ryan Kaskel

def foo():
    try:
        x = True
    except:
        y = True

If you put the cursor on column 0 of the line "x = True" and press tab, notice how it dedents one level.

Is this the intended behavior? If the cursor is on the "x" and you press tab "x = True" moves to column 0.

Thanks!

In the precise case both examples indicate bugs.

The second bug is fixed just now with revision 673.

May I ask you to make a report from first question and link this?

Thanks!

When indent is below maximal reasonable indent, TAB should increase indent one level.
