In addition to the copy/paste issue, it seems, on further experimentation, that kdevelop is applying all sorts of other unwanted formatting to pasted code.

So I guess that my question is now more general: how do I turn off *all* changes to pasted code?

I'm not sure where to post this question; if there's somewhere more
appropriate, please tell me.

In kdevelop, if I copy the following text into the copy/paste buffer from a
pre-existing file:

/*! \brief            Create a directory if it does not already exist
      \param  dirname   name of the directory to create
      \return           Whether directory was created
*/

and then I paste it into a different file (or, actually, even the same file),
instead of a byte-for-byte copy of what I just put into the buffer, what
appears in the destination file is:

/*! \brief            Create a directory if it does not already exist
   *  \param  dirname   name of the directory to create
   *  \return           Whether directory was created
   */

There must be something in kdevelop settings somewhere to control this (it
started with a recent upgrade to debian trixie from bookworm), but I can't
find any documentation on the subject. I'm probably just looking in the wrong
place. If it's not obvious: I want the pasted text to exactly match what I 
copied.
