Description

Repros after selecting the "return 0;" and using Ctrl+Shift+R Ctrl+E.


int func()
{

    return 0;
}

Doesn't repro after 2 new lines are added to the top of the file (the markdown isn't rendering the blank lines correctly).




int func()
{

    return 0;
}

I'm not sure how widespread the issue is.
