Pasting indents inappropriately [message #149147]

What's up with the paste operation? It puts the first line in the correct
position then indents everything else. Any ideas?

TIA,

Rod

What build? Can you paste an example?

Smart paste just tries to guess the correct indent for the first two
lines and shifts the remaining lines the same amount as the second line.

The idea behind this is to preserve the original formatting, but shift
the pasted code to the indentation level of where you paste.

Say I cut this:

private void foo()
{
bar();
}

When pasting this I get the following bogus indents. First line is correct,
subsequents are not.

private void foo()
{
bar();
}

this works for me - you probably need to set your code formatter
preferences according to your coding style.
