kdevelop pasting C-style comments

[D. R. Evans]

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.
