IntelliJ IDEA Cursor moves to beginning of line when hitting Ctrl-S

The cursor in my IntelliJ code editor always returns to the beginning of the line (removing all whitespace) when I save by hitting Ctrl-S.

If I have code on that line and save then move to the next line, the cursor starts at the very beginning of the line (instead of indented to where that line of code should start).

This is very annoying as I am in the habit of manually saving often.

If relevant I am on IntelliJ 2016.3, Windows 7.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks.
