Package: cc-mode (From "emacs -Q".) In an empty C++ buffer, type [#include SPC C-p BACKSPACE C-e RET], or (for a more realistic example), correct "#include " to "#include " like this: ...asio.hpp ;; self-insert-command > ;; c-electric-lt-gt M-b ;; backward-word M-b ;; backward-word ;; backward-kill-word M-> ;; end-of-buffer ;; newline The new line is indented one level (expected zero levels). This corrects itself after doing M-x normal mode. Reproduced below is the story so far, which comes after a discussion of unrelated matters at bug#36397.

After the deletion of the >, the cache failed to adjust its upper bound downwards by one. Thus the cache was still representing that the beginning of the new line was inside the macro bounds. The following patch should fix this. Would you please do the usual with it. Just as a matter of interest, how on earth did you manage to stumble across the key sequence (above) which triggers this bug? (The patch, by Alan, is elided by Richard in this email opening the bug report.)
