How are you supposed to deal with lines you didn't edit changing and have no

The ClangFormat plugin restricts formatting on save to the regions that you 
edited since last saving (the regions that have a green marker on the side.

This is unsuitable when you don't want to reformat the code. But more importantly, when you undo, it breaks down. You edit something, then notice it formatted when saving, you undo it, but it won't work. No matter what you do, it will format it. I noticed it like an hour too late, when my git diff was a complete mess, as it formatted code I didn't want touched.

At that point, I had to switch back to Creator 7.

This makes it virtually impossible to use Creator. Sure, if you only ever work on your own code, it's fine. But I work on a ton of projects, most of them don't even have a clang-format file.
