Wrong indentation when pasting javadoc-style multiline comments

[gene-pavlovsky]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.69.1
• OS Version: macOS 12.4

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Copy the following example code to the clipboard

/**
 * Purchase was successful
 */
var Success = "success";

2. Open a .js file (for example, it applies not only to JS) in VS Code
3. Paste from clipboard

Actual result: the last line (var Success) gets indented one extra space (on the same level as */).
Expected result: text pasted with original indentation.

Note: when manually typing a javadoc-style comment, VS code does auto-indentation correctly.

This is a duplicate of #119225. I opened PR #136579, but can't get any traction on getting it reviewed. Adding a +1 reaction to #119225 might help.

Looks like a duplicate. I couldn't find it, as I tried searching for "javadoc" and "multi-line comments". Added +1 to yours
