After upgrading from Visual Studio 2005 to Visual Studio 2012 I have realized that the "Decrease line indent" command has a problem.

Instead of shifting the number of configured spaces to the left the text is adjusted to the next absolute tab position.

Details (expand)

Visual Studio 2012

Tab Settings: Tab Size 4, Indent size 4, Insert Spaces

create two lines in the text editor (I use a C++ file):

word
word2

(2 spaces are at the beginning of each line)

select the two lines and execute "Increase line indent"

result:
     word
     word2

(6 spaces are at the beginning of each line)

which is correct, now execute "Decrease line indent"

result:
    word
    word2

(4 spaces are at the beginning of each line)

which is incorrect.

Increase should shift by 4 to the right and decrease should shift 4 to the left.

word

(4 spaces are at the beginning of each line)

(2 spaces are at the beginning of each line)

First you removed XP support, then you removed Macros and now even the editor does not work as before...sad.
