Type in two lines of code that look like this into a Java unit:

    xxx(
        yyy, "zzz");

Position your text cursor so that it is immediately in front of the first " of the string.  Press the Enter/Return key.  You will now have this:

    xxx(
        yyy,
        "zzz");

which is fine.  Now type Ctrl-I (or the "Correct indentation" item on the Source menu).  You will now have this:

    xxx(
        yyy,
    "zzz");

Interestingly enough if you add an unnecessary '+ ""' to the string expression, the indentation does not change.

This:
    xxx(
        yyy, "zzz" + "");
changes to:
    xxx(
        yyy,
        "zzz" + "");
and stays that way even after the Ctrl-I is typed.

Under the Java preferences for Java > Code Style > Formatter I am using these "Settings for arguments": "Line wrapping poliy" is "Wrap only when necessary" and "Indentation policy" is "Indent by one"
