I made a small change to an old java file in IntelliJ and when I save the file the IDE automatically reformats all the code. Normally this would be preferable, however it seems almost every line has unnecessary white space that gets cleaned up. Now it appears the entire file was modified even though I only made a small fix. This will make looking at the significant changes in VCS more difficult.
Is there a way to disable code reformatting when a file gets saved? So far I haven't had any luck finding the setting in the Project Settings dialog. I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 9.0.2
Alternatively I could perform the reformat, commit the changes, and then make my modification but I feel that this will end up happening a lot and I don't want to impose my formatting preferences on code owned by other groups.

You have configured prettier to format as per the default settings. If you don't see the code formatted automatically on file save then it might be because you have multiple formatters installed in VS Code.
ctrl + shift + P.
In Preferences > Editor > Code style > [language] uncheck reformat on file save .
Settings | Editor | General > Other | Strip trailing spaces on Save -> None.
Updated for IntelliJ Idea 2021+
Settings | Editor | General > On Save | Remove trailing spaces on: <...> -> None.
