Eclipse in Ubuntu deletes whitespace with CTRL+S

Question

I am using Ubuntu via VM-Player, and Eclipse to program in C.

Whenever I save the current code with "Ctrl+S" the cursor in the program is immediately moved to the left endpoint, unnecessarily deleting spacing (like a tab in a line after an if statement). It does not occur when there is code in that line, only on empty lines.

Can I change this behavior of Eclipse? I would prefer for "Ctrl+S" to save the current code and not affect whitespace.

Look at key bindings. Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Keys — Gaurav Pathak, Apr 08 '17 at 17:30

it actually has nothing to do with ctrl+s, only with saving. after saving the eclipse moves the writing cruser to the left. How can I stop this? — Davis8988, Apr 08 '17 at 18:45
...by turning off the option to strip trailing whitespace on save? — jonrsharpe, Apr 09 '17 at 07:59

Thank you all managed at last to do that from preferences:
Preferences --> C/C++ --> Editor --> Save Actions --> uncheck Remove trailling whitespace.
