Decoupling Auto-indent and cut&paste in Qt Creator editor

My C++ commenting style is to place the // in column 1 & 2. I.e:-

//      This conditional does ...

        if ( foo ) {
            bar ( x, y );

If I use use "Auto-Indent Selection", then the comment is indented thus:-

        //      This conditional does ...

        if ( foo ) {
            bar ( x, y );

That's fine - I just don't use your Auto-indent!

But if I copy and paste a section of code, the same happens with my comment!
I need cut&paste, so either I have to reformat my own code by hand after, or
use another editor and reload the file in Qt Creator. That is an annoyance.

Could you decouple the cut&paste and the auto-indent functionality please? They are
not the same, and I'm not sure why any kind of modular user interface design would
conflate them. I'm sure plenty of cut&paste moves the code between the same
nesting levels, and if not, there is always the auto-indent facility.

If you are wondering why I put the // on the left, it is because it gives me at least
2 more columns of comment space when trying to control the maximum length of source
lines on a reasonable width editor window. BTW, thank you for putting the right margin
"bar" on the latest version (2.2.0).
