How to disable Visual Studio "smart" way to replace IDs in markup

Question

From the hundreds of Visual Studio options, is there one to disable the way VS replace the IDs in markup when copy&paste from other control?

Almost always only need to change a few characters but VS thinks he is being smart replacing all the ID

I'm sure this isn't the answer you want (thus its a comment), but a quick undo will revert your paste to the original text in your clipboard. This has been a source of great frustration to me as well. I'd love to see good permanent answers to it. — Sam, Aug 26 '11 at 19:16

Go into Tools > Options > Text Editor > HTML > Miscellaneous and uncheck "Auto ID elements on paste in Source view"

This option seems to be gone for visual studio 2013... or at least I cannot find it :( – Ravendarksky Jul 29 '14 at 11:15
