New Emacs user here. Hitting enter after a semicolon commented line in any file type (.el and .lisp at the very least) indents the comment in a very unhelpful way that I have to assume is not intended behavior. This problem does not occur if I move away from that comment line in any way besides hitting return (triggering auto-indent presumably).
For example, If I type the following
; this is a comment
Then hit return, I get the following (32 spaces indentation)
; this is a comment
What is causing this behavior, and how can I prevent it?
I am running Emacs 26.3.0.20191219 installed through Chocolatey on Windows 10
