indentation being changed on paste despite auto indent on paste unchecked

[pknowles]

I have both Editor Settings->Auto Indent and Editor Settings->Auto Indent On Paste unchecked and start with a new plain text file (using hard tabs):

one
    two

where two is indented with a tab. I place the cursor at the end of two, hold shift, press up and copy the selection. This should copy a newline character, a tab character and the word two, i.e. "\n\ttwo". Then I paste, and get this:

one
    two
        two

somehow an extra tab has been injected. Additional pasting increases the indentation even further! I expected this:

one
    two
    two

Interestingly, if one is also indented before copying, the correct behaviour is observed. It's as though atom is counting the difference in indentation between the lines selected when the text is copied. Personally I hate anything that tries to be too fancy and automatic, and it is far more frustrating to me than the times when something could have predicted what I wanted and didn't.

Was able to reproduce this. Thanks @pknowles!

seems this is a dup and can be closed: atom/language-clojure#34

Still experience this in 1.7.2. There's also another effect which seems to be related:

»   /**
»   ·* hello
»   ·* world
»   ·*/
»   void hello()

Selecting one line up from the end of hello() to include the newline, then pasting at the end of hello() gives the wrong indentation. In fact it gives spaces.

»   /**
»   ·* hello
»   ·* world
»   ·*/
»   void hello()
···void hello()
