I've noticed an issue with the indentation/alignment. When a label is used for a process, the whole line gets misaligned if there are "long" variable declarations that follow. Here is an example (original code) of how the "label : process" statement should look like.
architecture behaviour of A_ARITH_MOD is
begin
main : process -- (PROBLEM IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
variable tempResult : data_qword := (others => DR_INIT);
variable minSize, requiredSize : positive := 8;
variable totalResults : natural := 0;
-- Local registers
variable localStatusRegister : data_bit_vector((S_ALU_STATUS - 1) downto 0) := (others => DR_ZERO);
begin
end process main;
end architecture behaviour;
and here is how it gets formatted.

end process main;
end architecture behaviour;
as you can see the distance between the label "main" and the keyword "process is huge".
Some users put the keyword "process" in a new line after the label. No issues there. Here is an example (formatted code).
