VS 2019 Preview 3.0 F# Re-Format indentation on paste option removes all indentation.

[vsfeedback]

Formatting edited by @cartermp

Open or create an F# project, a console application will do. Ensure the Re-format indentation on paste option is enables in the F# settings of the text editor.

Cut or copy 2 or more lines of indented code, say from inside a function. Then paste anywhere, including back over the still selected region that was copied. All indentation is removed.

Turning off the F# Re-format indentation on paste option leave the indentation intact but of course doesn't then indent it correctly for the new location where it is pasted either.

Further clarification on how to reproduce this:

Drag select the lines from the left of the text editor (on the line numbers if enabled). Ctrl+C to copy the current line without a selection or selecting a portion of text starting part way across a line doesn't exhibit this behaviour, it must be whole lines that are selected.

cc @saul any ideas here?

I think you can close this. The issue I was having was because I didn't know about this:

#4702

The caret position is now critical to determining what indentation you end up with. If you just cut some lines and paste directly back again the caret is left aligned for the paste. Now I know what it is doing it looks like it is a good feature and not a bug!
