Copy/Paste regression from 2.0->2.1 [message #74814]

given:
class foo {
public void bar() {
//some method
}
}

If I select all lines corresponding to method bar(), move to somewhere in
the class, and paste, I get:

class foo {
public void bar() {
//some method
}
public void bar() {
//some method
}
}

Paste has mangled the whitespace. It inserted tabs when I didn't want them.
Eclipse 2.0 did not do this. Is there a preference somewhere that controls
this? Does this still occur in 3.0?

It happens in other scenarios too. I think simple if statements and for
loops causing problems too. (simple means no {braces})

Windows-Preferences-Java-Editor-Typing-Pasting for correct indentation,
I think.
