Another one. I go to the beginning of a line (VB.NET). Click enter, a new
line is created but the cursor goes to the next line 2 chars from the
beginning.

Tab setting are - Smart, size 2, indent 2, keep tabs.

You should be able to insert several lines just by ENTER/ENTER etc. But
this screws up the text.

I have reinstalled about 5 times so that is not an option.

Perhaps it's different for me because I never use "keep tabs," but it's been
my experience that if you leave a line blank in VB the IDE will remove the
spaces that it put there during auto indenting.

The problem is that lets say the following is the code:

SaveFileDialog1.InitialDirectory =
Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath)
SaveFileDialog1.Filter = "SQL Documents (*.sql)|*.sql|All Documents
(*.*)|*.*"

Now I put the cursor at the first char ("S") of the first line. I click
ENTER and it inserts the blank line and puts the cursor before the "v" in
what was the first line (now the second line). If I want to insert several
blank lines I will end up with

Sa
veFileDialog1.InitialDirectory =
Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath)
SaveFileDialog1.Filter = "SQL Documents (*.sql)|*.sql|All Documents
(*.*)|*.*"
