Description

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

[severity:It bothers me. A fix would be nice] If you copy this

		/*
		 * =====================================================
		 *                  Solving methods
		 * =====================================================
		 */

and try to paste it, you get this

		/*
 * =====================================================
 *                  Solving methods
 * =====================================================
 */

This is really bad, and should be fixed.

Research direction
Investigate the clipboard paste handler in the Roslyn editor to understand why indentation of block comments is lost during paste. Look for formatting logic that normalizes whitespace and consider preserving the original indent level.
