Text formatting is not preserved in OMEdit

[andrea.bartolini]

Sometimes OMEdit does not preserve the text formatting, particularly when all the content of a package is saved in one file.

Particularly:

• indentation of class instantiated via drag&drop is not maintained
• indentation of comments is not maintained
• blank rows are removed
• formatting of formulas is not maintained, or is lost when a formula is copy-pasted

Is it possible to narrow down "sometimes" and provide a minimal example? I observed this faulty behavior also from time to time, as in #4368. I think this is more an error of the backend and not an error of OMEdit (?, Adeel).

I found another minimal case, when the formatting is not preserved:
1.) create a new model
2.) add an object (e.g. a RealInput) to the DiagramView
3.) add some blank lines and comments in between your code (for monitoring)
3.) add a single line comment (//) in the very first line
4.) move the object (the connector)
-> BAM! -> All new lines have vanished without a warning

Milestone moved to 1.13.0 due to 1.12.0 already being released.
