When copying and pasting C# code that contains errors, the auto-formatter kicks in and makes the code look bad

[regression]
I update to the latest Internal Main build of Visual Studio every morning and I saw this start to creep up a couple of days ago. When I copy and paste C# code that contains errors within the Visual Studio editor, the paste completes successfully, but then some type of formatting kicks in that does bad things to the formatting of the code that I pasted:

If I invoke and undo command, then the formatting goes back to the way it was right after I pasted it.

It'd be nice if this could be fixed. :)

@CyrusNajmabadi could this be related to the new string pasting feature?
@sharwell or to some of the formatting fixes you did?

[CyrusNajmabadi]

Unlikely. My stuff should only kick in inside a string. And it's also fully synchronous.

The only asynchronous portion of this operation is Add Missing Imports on Paste.
