Why does Visual Studio 2019 remove my indents when cut-and-pasting F# code?

Question

In Visual Studio 2019 with Microsoft Visual F# Tools 10.4 for F# 4.6, I am seeing unexpected cut-and-paste behavior. If I cut a block of F# code and then paste it somewhere else in my file, the code block is no longer indented to the same level.

Answer 1

This is a feature, not a bug.

...a feature that intelligently indents pasted code based on where your cursor is.

To enable or disable this feature, look at Tools > Options > Text Editor > F# > Formatting > Reformat indention on paste.
