Hi!

While editing a Java file,
why is it that when you copy "// my comment" and then you paste it on a
new line, the "//" part goes to the first column whereas the rest of the
comment is automatically indented.
Is there a way to avoid this behavior?

Thank you very much for your help!

You can disable the "auto-indent during paste" feature entirely:
Preferences > Java > Editor > Typing
You can also file a bug report in Bugzilla about it - if so, please
search for an existing one first.

Hope this helps,
Eric
