formatting tool removes `import "fmt"` before it can be used in subsequent code
Importing an a package (such as 'fmt') without a reference to the package in the current file automatically removes it:
The import is removed whenever a reference to it doesn't exist. It is not removed once a reference has been made. I imagine a formatting setting can be adjusted somewhere but it's not clear. Is this the 'go.formatOnSave' setting? How do I prevent the editor from 'correcting' me in this way.
Mac Version 10.12.6, GoLand 2018.3.1
Thanks!

Hi,
It's supposed that you don't need to manage your imports manually. GoLand does it for you. You can just type `fmtPrintln` and complete the function call, GoLand will import it. Remove the call – GoLand will remove the import.
If you still want to do manual work, you can disable the feature via Preferences | Go | Imports | Optimize imports on the fly.
No, it has nothing to do with the gofmt.
