Description

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

I enabled "Add missing using directives on paste" option. This is great option for me. But I paste the XML document(e.g. <see cref="SomeClass">xxx</see>), this is not work. Please make sure that this feature also works when pasting XML documents.

Research direction
Examine the paste event handler in Roslyn for 'Add missing using directives' feature to identify how it determines whether to add using directives, and why XML documents are not processed. Look for content type checks or parsing logic.
