Product:Developer Tools Product Version:Xcode 4.6.2 (4H1003)
Classification:Other Bug Reproducible:Not Applicable
 
Summary:
Xcode does not auto-indent Objective C literals with any level of sensibleness. For example, when making a dictionary, it should ensure that each line (containing a key and a value) should start to the right of the opening brace.

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to enter the following code, with newlines as typed here:
NSDictionary *entitiesDict = @{
@"links" : @[
@{
@"pos": @0,
@"len": @(self.radar.title.length),
@"url": radarLink}
]
};

Expected Results:
Indentation makes it look like this:
	NSDictionary *entitiesDict = @{
									@"links" : @[
													@{
														@"pos": @0,
														@"len": @(self.radar.title.length),
														@"url": radarLink
													}
												]
								 };

Actual Results:
Indentation makes it look like this:
		NSDictionary *entitiesDict = @{
								 @"links" : @[
				 @{
		 @"pos": @0,
	   @"len": @(self.radar.title.length),
	   @"url": radarLink
   }
				 ]
		 };
