> By unchecking this checkbox, Unity does write the MonoDevelopSolutionProperties section to the .sln file.
By unchecking, Unity does 'NOT' write any extra setting options to .sln file
when creating it for the first time.
But Unity 'DOES' delete every setting options from your .sln file
when you invoke 'Sync MonoDevelop Project' . Beware!
In Unity 5.2.0 'Sync MonoDevelop Project' has been renamed as 'Open C# Project' .
Please fix this confusing documentation.

Was fixed 5.1.0p1 by adding a "MonoDevelop Solution Properties" check box to Preferences / External tools. Also documented in the manual.
http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Preferences.html
By unchecking this checkbox, Unity does write the MonoDevelopSolutionProperties section to the .sln file.

Until Unity releases a fix you can use this Gist: https://gist.github.com/prime31/35a83fb8ad4eb385ab22 Just stick it in any Editor folder and it will watch for sln file changes and strip out the settings cruft that Unity injects into it.

This bug singlehandedly prevents me from formatting my code automatically. It is a royal pain. I hope it can be addressed.

If I'm not mistaken, this issue about code formatting concerns ALL formatting, not just a single element of the settings.
There's tons of StackOverflow and UnityAnswers threads, blogs, etc. covering this problem from 2010 to 2014.
Currently it seems that Unity regenerates the solution and project files for Monodevelop constantly, and keeps overriding all project settings changes you may have done (C# code formatting set to my custom style, most importantly for me).
Unity's project setting defaults are uneditable to my knowledge, so currently all you can do is create a custom policy and apply it manually to the project in Monodevelop every time Unity syncs assets and regenerates the files. This is obviously a terrible workflow, and would take me from coding to clicking about, applying policy settings again every two minutes.

MonoDevelop 4.01 which comes with Unity 4.3 is really bad with the curly braces and white space/newlines. Half the time it tosses my code several indentations right randomly, and puts the braces in very odd positions.

For me, this issue affects whitespace as well (at least). No matter what level (project, solution, or global) I set these at, they are overridden or have no effect in the editor. This is COMPLETE failure and makes all of my code ugly and useless. Been using VS for 20 years and that is how I want my code formatted. Period.
