Package: emacs23-el Version: 23.3+1-1 Severity: normal octave-mode appears to be configured to align comments to a fixed column. Pressing TAB on a line containing a comment (prefixed by # or %) pushes the comment symbol out to column 32.
This looks extremely ugly and is extremely irritating, requiring manual reformatting afterwards, which defeats the purpose of the automated indentations provided by the mode. Maybe for some particular subset of users a fixed comment column is appropriate, but it's contrary to any other programming mode used in emacs. Whether c-mode, shell-script-mode, python-mode, they all allow comments to be indented in line with the code, indented to the same block (same column) as the surrounding code. octave-mode should do the same. I can't see any way in /usr/share/emacs/23.3/lisp/progmodes/octave-mod.el.gz to override the octave fixed-column comment indentation and have comment lines indented the same way as any other line in the source.
