(This bug report unfortunately got no response at the time.)

I tried reproducing this bug in Emacs 28 by loading the supplied Swift
mode, and then indenting the the example, and I got this:

if true {
           foo
       }

Which I assume isn't correct?

For the second problem, blink-matching-open seemed to do the correct
thing.

Before debugging further -- are you still seeing these problems with a
more recent Emacs/swift mode?
