Description
Below provided settings.json snippet, when added to settings.json leads to no * symbol being added after newline.
"[java]": {
"editor.suggest.snippetsPreventQuickSuggestions": false,
"editor.autoIndent": "none"
}
Without these configurations, I get unwanted behaviour where an indent is inserted before the * symbol on a javadoc newline.

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior using the settings.json snippet in VS Code with Java support, comparing editor.autoIndent set to "none" with the default configuration. Trace the Java editor handling for Javadoc newlines and verify that the * insertion is preserved without unwanted indentation in both cases.
