[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Since upgrade to Emacs 28.1, I have noted an annoy change in
shell-script mode auto-formatting.

I would like to recover the old behavior

Before, if I entered

if [ "$x" = "" ];then
    export x=$y
fi

and then enter new line, the new line would align with the fi

if [ "$x" = "" ];then
    export x=$y
fi
cp fred ethel

Now it I do the same thing I get the new line indented

if [ "$x" = "" ];then
    export x=$y
fi
    cp fred ethel

The matching code also does not recognize that the
fi is connected to the then statement.

This is not the case if I break the if into two lines or add a leading
space to the ;

if [ "$x" = "" ]
then
    export x=$y
fi
cp fred ethel

if [ "$x" = "" ];then
    export x=$y
fi
cp fred ethel

I can reproduce this in Emacs 28.1, but not in Emacs 28.2 and later.
So I think we already fixed this bug; please upgrade.

I'm therefore closing this bug.

Well, I cannot reproduce with Emacs 28.2, so it is strange that it
happens for you in Emacs 28.2.  Are you sure you don't have some stale
files lurking somewhere and shadowing the files that came with Emacs
28.2?  Does the problem happen in "emacs -Q" with Emacs 28.2?
