What I can only describe as a bug seems to be affecting the auto-indent feature in WeBuilder 2007.
Although it usually works fine, if the line wraps and thus technically becomes two lines in the editor, if you then press return to break line it'll start at the beginning of the line, ignoring any automatic indentation that should occur.

I'm not sure, I don't have a copy of 2006 handy to test it. A growing userbase could be one sign of previously unmentioned things being pointed out though.
It's not a crippling bug as re-adding the indents isn't a massive hurdle, but it is something that impedes workflow slightly and thus should ideally be fixed. It's small things like this that are often overlooked but slow people down bit by bit without them realising it.
I'm not freaking out about it or anything, but it's certainly something that'd be nice to see fixed some day.

FYI this is still a bug as of the latest version.
It's clearly a bug so although I'm disappointed it hasn't been addressed in WeBuilder 2007, hopefully it will be for 2008.
I'm guessing people haven't complained about it much because they've simply compensated for it by manually putting the indentation back in and never thought to complain, much like I've had to for the past year.
However, this is definitely poor behaviour. For example, if I have a long <p>Paragraph</p> that wraps onto two lines and then hit return to add another below it -- oh look, my indentation is gone. So I have to hit tab 2-5 times to get it back to the proper place.
This should be addressed, especially in a product people are paying for.
