In Smart Insert Mode all features enabled on the Typing preference page 
(C/C++ > Editor > Typing) are active. If Smart Insert Mode is off, the 
features are all deactivated.
The mode is not persisted, ie. it is enabled again on startup, but you 
can individually enable/disable the smart typing features on the 
preference page. In your case, the option "Adjust Indentation when 
pasting" (aka Smart Paste) seems to bug you. If you think the feature is 
not working correctly, please file a bug.

Thanks,
Toni
