Editor removes tabs before brace [message #647392]

Using PDT to edit PHP files:

When I enter a new line, then tab, then enter an open brace, the editor removes the tab, and pushes the brace back to line up with the previous line.

I want:

foreach($V as $K)
     {
     echo $K;
     }

The editor insists on making it like this:

foreach($V as $K)
{
     echo $K;
}

Every time I enter a brace, I have to go back and push it out again to where I want it.

I've gone through all the editor settings, and searched online, but can't find any way to change this behavior. Don't tell me I'm doing it wrong -- I've been programming like this for over 20 years and I'm not about to break this habit!

Can anyone help?

Could you please submit a bug report as "enhancement" to bugzilla?
It is impossible to disable auto-edit feature.

BTW, you can build your own pdt since it's an open source.
Comment out 1 statement, that's all to disable auto-edit against '{'.
