Intellij IDEA applies auto indentation on empty lines.

For example, this:

••••thing.method()
••••••••

Becomes this after I insert a dot character:

••••thing.method()
••••••••.

What I needed to do was to change the value of the Continuation indent option in Editor > Code Style > Java.

The formatter options are being applied as you type.
