[Ada-mode-users] Indentation of arrows in associations

[Ludovic Brenta]

Hello,

We just noticed a weird effect of ada-mode 5.2 when indenting
associations when the arrow is at the beginning of a line; look
at where the the first arrow is indented in this sample:

        Record_History (Flights (Count),
                        RTFM_Recreated_And_Flight_Status_Updated
                                         => 
Normal_Flight_RTFM_Recreated_And_Flight_Status_Updated and then Count = 
Count_Option.Normal,
                        EFD_Logged_In_Oplog => EFD_Logged_In_Oplog);


and even more obvious at another place:

            M_CDM.Process_CASA_Reply (Flights,
                                      The_New_CASA_Result       => 
(FTFX.Main_CASA_Result, FTFX.Detailed_CASA_Result),
                                      Old_Detailed_CASA_Result
                                                                        
                                              => Flights 
(Count_Option.Proposal).Fixed_Info.Detailed_CASA_Result,
                                      Measures_Related_CDM_Data => 
FTFX.Measures_Related_CDM_Data);


It looks like ada-wisi indents arrows relative to the comma two
lines above.   We would like the arrows to be indented 2
characters to the right of the parameter name, just like for a
continuation line (we've cistomized (ada-indent 2)).

Of course, we could place the arrow at the end of the line but
our coding standard requires "connectors" such as => and := to
be at the start of a line.

Is this a bug or a feature?
