Consider the code
var test = "";

If you move the caret inside the quotes and press TAB the semicolon is moved. It seems that the indentation logic interferes here, because if you vary the length of the variable name the behavior changes slightly. I would expect to always get a tab character when I am inside a string.

I just tried this and it works.
