Today I saw a suggested edit where the editor simply changed the whitespace and indentation of the posted code.

However, the likely reason the question asker didn't understand what they were asking about was BECAUSE of this formatting problem.

So:

• The edit was correct
• The edit did not change the meaning of the post (as it was just formatting)
• But it did change the understanding of what the problem was for future readers.

Is it a correct edit or not?
