Docstring of electric-newline-and-maybe-indent says


"Insert a newline.
If `electric-indent-mode' is enabled, that's that, but if it
is *disabled* then additionally indent according to major mode...."

I.e disabling `electric-indent-mode' will cause electric indent?

Is this sane?

Cheers,

Andreas

Where does it say that the additional indent is electric?  It isn't.

It is to me.

Did you look at the code?

Understand "electric" just as a kind of joint --or additional-- action. 
Wrong?

No, the experience was concludent with docu.

In haskell-mode at EOL:

factors :: Int -> [Int]

C-j calls

electric-newline-and-maybe-indent

and indents wrongly - there is nothing to indent.

BTW why electric-newline? Isn't the indent the electric action?

In order to avoid the wrong indent, have to enable electric-indent-mode 
- doesn't make sense for me.

So perhaps this is the problem to solve, not the documentation?

I agree that the name is confusing; I guess the "electric-" prefix is
to blame.

So I think the bug is the wrong indent you needed to avoid.

Hmm, think there are two bugs.

In electric-newline-and-maybe-indent switching the clauses should solve 
this one.

Than, even an electric-indent should do nothing when not appropriate, 
second bug.
