It looks like you are using Visual Assist X (a guess from the font highlighting), which does this. VS2012 itself doesn't have this feature so far as I know.

To turn it off in Visual Assist X, under VASSISTX->Visual Assist X Options..., select Advanced->Corrections and uncheck "Format after paste (in C/C++/C#/Javascript)".
