"Simple auto-indentation" mode in Spyder IDE?

In Python IDE Spyder I frequently run into issues with the automatic indentation upon pressing <enter>, despite already having disabled as many indentation features as possible (Tools → Preferences → Editor → Advanced Settings). This includes undesirably deep indentation when using nested parenthesis, and in a few cases outright bugs. An example would be 

if True: # <enter>, <tab>
    x = f(
            a = lengthy_expression, # automatic indentation undesirably deep
            b = lengthy_expression)

or as of Spyder 3.1.1

assert f(x) == 1
          wrongly_indented_statement()

I would rather prefer for the automatic indentation to simply preserve the indentation-level of the previous line, leaving extra-indentation for multi-line expressions to the user, e.g. 

if True: # <enter>, <tab>
    x = f( # <enter>, <tab>
        a = lengthy_expression, # <enter> 
        b = lengthy_expression) # <enter>

Is there some such "simple auto-indentation" mode in spyder?

(Spyder developer here) No, there isn't. We'll try to fix these bugs in one of our next releases (3.1.3 or 3.1.4)
