I can't attribute the change in behavior to a specific version but I'm currently on 14.2 (14C18).

This is apparently a bug in Xcode 14. It happens when you select entire lines (with or without the final end-of-line delimiter).

  • select the option and you get the behaviour you described.
  • same behaviour with any delimiter like curly brace { or quotes
  • but the line insertion is specific to some delimiters as (, {
