I have some code that is visually formatted in a particular way:
.TabWellContentLeft()
[
	SNew(STextBlock)
	.Text(FString(TEXT("Filter:")))
]


I want to add the following code:
.TabWellContentLeft()
[
	SNew(STextBlock)
	.VAlign(VAlign_Center)
	.Text(FString(TEXT("Filter:")))
]


To start with, I have the cursor placed where the pipe '|' char is:
.TabWellContentLeft()
[
	SNew(STextBlock)
	|
	.Text(FString(TEXT("Filter:")))
]


When I type the dot '.', some kind of autoformatting happens, and it types like this:
.TabWellContentLeft()
[
	SNew(STextBlock)
.
	.Text(FString(TEXT("Filter:")))
]


The dot should be indented, but for some reason, is not.

The feature that is causing this, is the "Convert dot to -> (in C/C++)" feature - even though no conversion happens here, it still seems to apply some auto-formatting, which removes the indent.

Would be good if this were fixed, as when I try to write code with this syntax, I end up having to correct that indent a lot - which is awkward; thanks.

I am seeing the same effect here. Thank you for the clear description.

I have a couple of possible work arounds, the first is to press space or tab before typing the dot, the second is to press Ctrl-K, Ctrl-F to trigger the IDE's format command, which will fix the indenting after you have finished typing the line.
