kdevelop pasting C-style comments

[D. R. Evans]

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?
