Hello, I am able to reproduce with mis-indentation on emacs -Q: Here is an example code: (require 'cl-lib) (cl-labels ((categoryp (tag) (string-match-p "\\`@" tag))) (categoryp "@a")) Above is the result of selecting the whole code and C-M-\ (indent-region). Notice that the body of `categoryp' gets indented by the name of that fn.
