Vs 2013 community screws up formatting of html page when saving file

Question

I have seen other people having this issue with suggestions like 'Formatting and visualizations, tag specific options. However this is not solving my issue
example
I type the following code this way
<asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server">
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Days Old " />
</asp:Panel>
<asp:Panel ID="Panel2" runat="server">
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text="Days Old " />
</asp:Panel>
then when I hit save the code changes to
<asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server">
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Days Old " />
</asp:Panel><asp:Panel ID="Panel2" runat="server">
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text="Days Old " />
</asp:Panel>
This messes with the outlining and makes it hard to see where controls like Panel2 is in the code.
I am using a fresh install of visual studio community 2013 on a fresh install of windows 8.1 so this is not an issue with my istallation.
I have tried setting tag Specific options with no change
It doesn't do this every time or just on asp:panels
I have tried adding line breaks and spaces etc. this doesn't help either.
is this just a bug in visual studio or is there a general setting out of wack. I didn't have this problem with vs express for web 2012. but I did have it with vs express for web 2013 and community 2013

Hi PBPuddin,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Based on your issue, I tried to add this code as you said into a html page and then I saved the code. I found that the code formatting of the html page did not occur like you said that in VS2013 Community.
So to check if this issue is related to the VS2013 Community IDE, I suggest you could try to copy the  same version of the VS2013 Community setup file on other machine and then install it check this issue again.
(1) If you still get the issue, I assume that the issue maybe related to this VS2013 Community setup file, so please download it from Microsoft official website and then install it again.

(2) If you did not get same issue, I suggest you could try the following suggestion to check the issue.
(2.1) please try to open your VS in safe mode and then check if you install some add-ins in the VS IDE.

Or you could try to check if you install some third-party tool/ software on your machine.
Hope it help you!
