From a similar question asked before, it is known that the preferred way of indenting nested using statements is (which is pre-Visual Studio 2015's default):

using (var enumerator1 = list1.GetEnumerator())
using (var enumerator2 = list2.GetEnumerator())
{
    // Use enuemrator1 and enumerator2 here
}

However, I found the behaviour was changed in Visual Studio 2015, when I type the following:

using (var enumerator1 = list1.GetEnumerator())

and hit ↵, the cursor is indented on the second line:

using (var enumerator1 = list1.GetEnumerator())
    ‸ // Text caret appears here instead of at the same level of
     // indent of the previous line

How can I get the old behaviour back and what is the rationale of changing this behaviour?

If you have ReSharper, you need to untick the setting named Indent nested "using" statements.

It can be found in the Code Editing section => C# => Formatting Style => Other.

ReSharper Option

Even if the option is unticked, the caret will still appears with an indentation. However, once you make a newline, ReSharper will format your using block correctly:
