[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#341759: no obvious way to turn off comment indentation

[Frederik Eaton]

Package: octave2.9-emacsen
Version: 2.9.4-8
Severity: normal

I have "Auto Indent" set to "off" in the octave customization group
but when I type a "#" character it still ends up indented by 32
columns. I would like to make octave-mode stop doing this so that I
can easily type unindented comments, but I can't figure out what the
proper configuration variable is.

Here is a clip from the customization buffer:

Auto Indent: [Hide] [Toggle]  off (nil) 
   [State]: this option is unchanged from its standard setting. 
Non-nil means indent line after a semicolon or space in Octave mode. 

Thanks,

Frederik
