Description

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

When you Comment out a selection of code and then un-comment the selection it applies a "Format Selection" comand on it. Which I know is NOT Roslyn doing it upon Uncomment Selection because I can hit Control+Z to "undo" the re-format.

Please DO NOT format my code

I hit Control+Z and it leaves it uncommented but un-does the "Apply format" command

Research direction
Look for the 'Uncomment Selection' command handler in the editor text operations code. Trace where formatting is applied after uncommenting and identify the condition causing it.
