In 6.8, automatic formatting for multiline alignment seems to have changed from 6.7. If I manually add a line-break after an operator, then in 6.7 it would align correctly with the start of the expression. In 6.8, it now removes the line-break and returns the remainder of the statement back to the original line. This does not happen if the line-break is before the operator, only when it is after. As an example: int a = 1 + 2; "Source > Format" becomes: int a = 1 + 2; However, if I start with: int a = 1 + 2; "Source > Format" becomes: int a = 1 + 2; This is throwing a number of checkstyle errors at me as I'm wanting the operator to be before the break, and not at the start of the new line.
The formatter follows java formatting conventions. But definitely there is a space for more formatting settings
