In Jetbrains Rider 2021.3x, after executing Code Clean Up, text in documentation comments are being indented. How can this be disabled?

   /// <summary>
   ///    Why does Rider indent these comments? How can it be disabled?
   ///    Any idea of what settings!?
   /// </summary>
   public class Person{}

How to prevent indenting text in summary tags, so that remains like this:

   /// <summary>
   /// Why does Rider indent these comments? How can it be disabled?
   /// Any idea of what settings!?
   /// </summary>
   public class Person{}

Hi Rakesh Patel! 

Thanks for contacting us. I wasn't able to reproduce the issue in Rider 2021.3.3 and Rider EAP. Could you please open File | Settings | Editor | Code Style | C# => Tabs, Indents, Alignment settings and check if there is any sing about autodetecting/overriding? 

Thanks!

The solution to the issue has been found in the stack overflow link give by op: https://stackoverflow.com/a/71645243/14997672

Go to File | Settings | Editor | Code Style | C# and open the tab XML documentation.
There you should find the setting Indent inside element that contain text which you can set to No indent from parent element

This solved the issue for me.

What is surprising though is that trying to detect my desired formatting by selecting text and using the "detect code style settings" did not see a difference (unlike all other changes I've asked it to detect.)

Hi Carsanwitt! 

Could you please add a code sample on which detection didn't work correctly? You can upload a file to our server and share the ID. Thanks!
