Description

I have a problem with indentations, somehow continue breaks indentation when I try to edit / generate code. The model provides correct code but it is not applied correctly. I hope the attached movie explains the issue better than words :)

I tried adjusting VS code settings regarding indentations, tabulations, paste formatting - nothing helped.

[edit] Changed .mov to .mp4 movie format

To reproduce

1. create new python file
2. CMD+I (ask Continue to generate new code)
3. enter simple prompt "generate fibonacci sequence"
4. all "elif" statements and "else" statement are indented too far

Log output

No response

@PawelSzpyt thanks for the clear video! I have a few improvements on the way for cmd+I that should clean this up

I have same bug with v0.9.202 (pre-release) version. it also appears when using "Optimize this Code" shortcut.

I also tried to disable all extensions for workspace and enable back only Continue. Same problem.

BTW, i also check indentation with python code, as @PawelSzpyt did.

@vills what LLM are you using? This seems very much to be a model-specific problem

@sestinj Tried both gpt-4o and gpt-4o mini. Also tried llama3.1 and mistral-nemo through Ollama. And claude sonnet. With all this models indent issue persist.
