Description

Default format settings for operators in Java editor is on beginning of line. Rule is used e.g. for operator '+' on Strings - if Java code is reformatted or if string token is splitten to more lines by Enter key.

String str = "aaa"
   + "bbb";

 

But if you paste multiline string from clipboard into other string token (between "...") then operator '+' are generated on end of lines.

String str = "aaa";

then insert at end of string token (before last " char)

ccc
ccc

generate

String str = "aaaccc\n" +
"ccc";

 

In JDK 13 are multiline strings supported in another way but in JDK 8 or when appending variable value still need long strings splitted on multiple lines.
