Subject: 25.1; wrong indent in shell-script-mode
Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2017 00:24:33 +0100

I get the following indentation for my bash script in shell-script mode:

for i in *; {
    echo $i
}
         echo done

The last indent is wrong and should be zero spaces.

I also discuss this problem at

https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/30745/wrong-indent-with-emacs-24-and-25-in-shell-script-mode

It also appears in emacs 24.

This is not documented Bash syntax: there is a 'do' required after the ';'.
The Bash parser accepts this form, but it remains undocumented, so Emacs
doesn't need to support it.

So I guess this is something we don't want to fix, and I'm closing this
bug report.
