If you're still having trouble finding the problem, try coming up
with a minimal chunk of text that exhibits the problem. Then post
that here as it appears before and after you perform the =
operation, along with an explanation of _exactly_ the steps you
executed and what you expected the results to be.
It might also help if you would include the results of ":version" in
your post.
If it only happens with some files, check the file type with
:set ft?
and be sure to mention that, too.
As you're looking for the problem, it might help to start Vim as
vim -N -u NONE
or as
gvim -N -u NONE
That will prevent Vim from sourcing any of your configuration files.
Another thing that might help is to execute the ":options" command
and jump down to section "14 tabs and indenting". That shows all
the indent-related settings and might suggest some settings that
could be affecting the behavior you're seeing.
