Toad for Oracle. Pressing RETURN on a line with leading spaces sometimes will not auto-indent to the correct spot on the next line.
Description

Pressing RETURN on a line with leading spaces sometimes will not auto-indent or sometimes over-auto-indent or sometimes under-auto-indent. That is, the indent doesn't occur where it is expected and not in the same place where it had occurred in previous lines. This issue started after upgrade to version 12.8.0.49.
Issue happens in the Editor window. Problem does not happen all the time; it is intermittent. Once it starts happening, it will start to happen in many different places in the code. If user saves, closes, and re-opens the code, the issue will stop happening for a while until the next time when it is somehow triggered again.
This issue may be related to the split editor layout option. When the layout is split left-right and edit in the right side, the issue happens on the right side when it was previously on the left/un-split window.

Steps:

1. Open a .sql file with multiple lines (one with an anonymous block would be good), with indentations.

2. Split layout left-right.

3. On right side, scroll to area where several lines exists and are indented.

4. At end of line press return.

More often than not, this will cause the cursor to return to the beginning of the line instead of where the indentation is. If this is done on the left side of an un-split window, the cursor would be indented properly.
