Pasting in Vi Console issue

["Travis Davies" <travisdavies@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone,

I am having an issue where whenever i paste some code into a vi console
in gnome the code is pasted but the format of my code is severely distorted. for example:

I try ot past a some code like

   if(something){
      Do this;
      and do this;
    }
 but when it is pasted in it looks like

           if(something)
{
                                              Do this;

 and do this;
        } 

Has anyone ever seen this?

:)
Travis
