Automatic refactoring that preserve the formatting are extremely difficult to implement. In a common case, like with the rewrite engine that the refactoring browser is using internally, this is not really feasible. It is much easier to write your own formatter that formats as you like, even if writing a working formatter is not trivial either. For details listen to what the original authors of the Refactoring Browser say about code formatting: <http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/blog/blogView?entry=3426663681>.
