How can I disable auto-indent in the C/C++ editor?
It is driving me completely bonkers! But I cannot
find any dialog that lets me disable this "feature".

You can toggle the 'Smart Insert Mode' (Ctrl+Shift+Insert)
which controls the auto-indent feature among others.
A preference option to turn off auto-indent has been added recently to
the upcoming CDT 5.0 (http://bugs.eclipse.org/219923).

Apart from disabling auto-indent, have you checked the Code Style
settings in the preferences (Window > Preferences > C/C++ > Code Style)?
Those settings determine how the "right" indentation is computed.
Maybe you can adjust it to suite your preferred coding style.
If not, feel free to create an enhancement request at
