Scaffolding Identity Deletes All Content in site.css and site.js

Each time I scaffold identity in a project by right-clicking the project and go to New… > Scaffolded Item and and select Identity and add all pages I then find this deletes all content in site.css and site.js.

After scaffolding site.js contains this code only:

// Please see documentation at https://docs.microsoft.com/aspnet/core/client-side/bundling-and-minification
// for details on configuring this project to bundle and minify static web assets.

// Write your JavaScript code.

And site.css has this:

/* Please see documentation at https://docs.microsoft.com/aspnet/core/client-side/bundling-and-minification\ 
for details on configuring this project to bundle and minify static web assets. */
body {
    padding-top: 50px;
    padding-bottom: 20px;
}

/* Wrapping element */
/* Set some basic padding to keep content from hitting the edges */
.body-content {
    padding-left: 15px;
    padding-right: 15px;
}

/* Carousel */
.carousel-caption p {
    font-size: 20px;
    line-height: 1.4;
}

/* Make .svg files in the carousel display properly in older browsers */
.carousel-inner .item img[src$=".svg"] {
    width: 100%;
}

/* QR code generator */
#qrCode {
    margin: 15px;
}

/* Hide/rearrange for smaller screens */
@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {
    /* Hide captions */
    .carousel-caption {
        display: none;
    }
}

This has happened to me a few times now and over the last 3 VS updates (at least) and I have only just tracked down the connection. Current version is 15.8.6.

The workaround is to take backups of these files and then overwrite changes back after scaffolding. As I don’t commit constantly I have lost a few changes each time so would be good if this bug could be fixed.

I’ve just received this same issue. Still happening when all identity is scaffolded.
