You have to disable "reformat on paste" in Options > Text Editor > F# > Formatting, that feature is totally broken (or at least, I haven't seen it working on my machine). It should probably be disabled by default and get the "Experimental" flag.

There's however a way of using this feature properly, which means you have to have your cursor in the right position. See this: #6281 (comment), and this #4702.
Though I'd consider this a bug still, as this isn't clear and not easy to get right. Otherwise, it would be a great feature to have.

I think this could be improved, but ultimately it's still just pasting lipstick on the pig that is our lack of proper code formatting tools in VS for F#. We don't integrate with fantomas, which could offer up that support. It's something we should really revisit.

I do think this needs fixing, I notice it all the time.
