Netbeans javascript indents brackets too much

Question

If I type the following javascript in Netbeans...

if (foo) [enter] { [enter] dostuff();

I get:

if (foo)
    {
        dostuff();
    }

which is just silly. Is there any way to get the correct result:?

if (foo)
{
    dostuff();
}

Don't know the answer, but here's a tip: if you like your opening brackets in the next line, never do that when returning an object from a function, or js will return undefined instead.

Try Ctrl + Shift + f it is for formatting code automatically by the IDE

This is apparently an open bug with Javascript and NetBeans as of 4/2/2013: https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=182420
