Research direction

Start by reproducing the formatting and structure changes to Test Suites described in the RIDE release notes, including the option that should prevent reformatting. Trace the relevant formatting entry point and compare the saved file with the original; done means structure and formatting are preserved when used across IDEs or editors and the option works.

Description

analyze

From the latest RIDE release notes:
"RIDE DOES NOT KEEP Test Suites formatting or structure, causing differences in files when used on other IDE or Editors. The option to not reformat the file is not working."
This has now been in the release notes for so long, and it is really limiting collaboration in teams that use multiple IDE's.
Can this please be put under priority 1 and all focus put on this untill it is resolved?
This has really dragged on for far too long.
