Hmm, am I right that QScintilla is a Qt wrapper around Scintilla? Then
I'll complain to the scintilla developers. This is definetly not a
feature.

I do find the indent after ":" handy, if and only if I have something
like "if foo:" or "for foo in list:". So I don't want to turn it off
completely (then I'd rather live with the current inconvience).
