In a text file like:

Code: Select all

 aaa|<- 1. start select from here.
 bbb|<- 2. end of select here.
 ccc|<- 3. copy and paste in here.
 ddd
After that it will be like:

Code: Select all

 aaa
 bbb
 ccc
     bbb
 ddd
But I want it to be:

Code: Select all

 aaa
 bbb
 ccc
 bbb
 ddd

You need to switch off "smart paste" feature (Environment > Options > Editor > General > Editing > Enable smart paste). A quote from the help file:
Smart paste (Shift+Ctrl+V)
The paste function will try to preserve the indention of the copied text even if it's placed in a very different position.
In column mode you can use it to paste a single line of text to all selected rows.

That's it! Thanks!

This behavior is weird.

It makes more sense (in certain circumstances) when you copy and paste more than one line ;)
