Roslyn: Copy Paste Indent Level Wrong

[vsfeedback]

When I copy and paste the commented method over the uncommented method the braces and inner data end up at the wrong indentation level. See attached video and before/after screenshot.

I don't know if this is related, but you can reproduce incorrect indentation just by typing and inserting newlines inside comment blocks located inside the "class" scope blocks, like so:

This is a newly generated C# template document, so pretty much any C# valid code will reproduce this result.

@tommai78101 That's also likely a bug, but a very different one from the one reported in this issue. Can you open a new issue for it? 👍

@sharwell The bug was reported from here:

https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/301763/c-multi-line-comments-are-indented-too-much.html?childToView=302440#comment-302440

I'll post a new issue for this.

[tommai78101]

@sharwell It's done.

Any chance this can be re-prioritized? I copy and paste lists frequently and since Format Document doesn't handle this type of scenario I always have to fix the indentation by hand.

@nnpcYvIVl We would def take a contribution here if you wanted to assist. Thanks!

@sharwell Apologies for messing up the issue I originally reported. While making the issue, I copy/pasted the wrong sample code for 2 years without realizing it, and now the issue is closed due to "invalid example". The bug itself is not confirmed to be fixed. I won't be creating a new issue, just because, so I think it will be a better idea to just try and see if we can encourage more contributions instead.

@CyrusNajmabadi If we can, where can we start looking? And where can we add unit test cases for indentation errors?
