Subject: bug#23391: 24.5; javascript indentation inconsistency

From: Paul Becker <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2016 16:54:13 -0400

Started with emacs -Q. Having a space after the "for" (see below) messes 
up the indentation on the rest of the items in the list. Without a space 
between the "for" and the open paren, the indentation is normal.

// no space between "for" and "("
[
     function(){
         for(){
         }
     },
     function(){},
];

// space between "for" and "("
[
     function(){
         for (){
         }
     },
         function(){},  // everything from here on is incorrectly indented
         ];
