Wrong array initializer indentation while typing PHP in Eclipse

Question

I set my preferred array initializer indentation on Preferences > PHP > Code Style > Fromatter > Line Wrapping, but while typing array initializers indentation is wrong:

$arr = array([ENTER]
····[CURSOR])

while I'm expecting:

$arr = array([ENTER]
··[CURSOR]
)

like it happens editing Javascript code. Note that the wrong indentation happens only while typing, whereas an explicit CTRL+SHIFT+F indents array initializer correctly. (So not a duplicate of many other questions asking how to set indentation, since here indentation is set but not applied while typing.)

How can I get the correct indentation while typing array initializers?

My settings on Zend Eclipse for PHP Developers, under PHP > Code Style > Formatter:

Indentation > Tab policy > Spaces
Indentation > Indentation size > 2
Indentation > Tab size > 2
Indentation > Default indentation for array initializers > 2
Line Wrapping > Expressions > Array initializers > Indentation policy > Indent by one

one of these helped to make it work. Probably the indentation policy flag. I needed to restart Eclipse. It didn't work without. – MonkeyMonkey Jun 22 '15 at 12:08

Try to set Indentation Policy to Indent by one (instead of Default Indentation) for Method Declarations -> parameters

It doesn't work. It seems that the PHP formatter rules don't affect the live-typing indentation (at least for array initializers). – Giovanni Lovato Oct 28 '12 at 12:19
@Heruan Try then with Formatter -> Tab policy = Spaces and Indentation Size = 1 – Pigueiras Oct 28 '12 at 12:30
That will set indentation by 1 space and that's not what I want. I guess Eclipse PDT has somehow hardcoded a double-indentation for array initializers that can't be overloaded by a formatter plugin. – Giovanni Lovato Oct 28 '12 at 12:37

@Heruan In my Eclipse Indigo I have this settings: Tab policy = Spaces, Identation size = 1, Default Indentation for Wrapped Lines = 2, Default Indentation for array Initializer = 2. And it works exactly as you are describing. – Pigueiras Oct 28 '12 at 12:49

In Eclipse Juno, try with PHP -> Code Style -> Formatter -> Default indentation for array intializers = 1. It works for me.

In my Windows instance, it is necessary to restart Eclipse to apply changes to this setting:

PHP > Code Style > Formatter > Default indentation for array intializers

On other instances it's not required. No idea why.
