Editing fixed field data
Answered
So I'm stuck needing to edit some fixed field data. IntelliJ is trying to be super helpful by stripping whitespace at the end of lines and auto-indenting, but in this situation that's not in the least bit helpful.
Of course, I could turn off those feature for the entire IDE, but I want those features when I'm writing code. Turning those features on and off as I move from one task to another is not something I'm interested in having to do.
I could run [insert you favorite dumb text editor here] but I figure there's got to be something I'm missing since IntelliJ does just about everything else I've thrown at it.
Please advise!

File a bug so that this feature is disabled for the specific file type, language and code fragment you are trying to edit. It's specifically disabled for all the places where whitespace is significant. If it strips whitespaces from such places, it's a bug that has to be fixed: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA.
Thanks. So there wasn't anything I was missing... The feature doesn't exist. I was afraid of that.
Per your suggestion, I created a bug report: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-171547 ...
