Description

I've been playing with the beta 4 release of 12.0 to test out some of the preview functionality in Java 14.

It appears that the automatic formatting tool is always wrapping some type annotations, even if Editor > Formatting > Java > Wrapping > Annotations is set to 'Never'.

For example, when using org.checkerframework.checker.nullness.qual.Nullable:

public static @Nullable Object getNullable()
{
    return null;
}

is formatted as

public static @Nullable
Object getNullable()
{
    return null;
}

(As an aside, it probably would be reasonable to add a separate option for the wrapping behavior of annotations that have TYPE_USE or TYPE_PARAMETER as a @Target)
