I’m not sure how/why 7.0.107 worked for this. COMReference isn’t supported for the dotnet tool, which includes dotnet format. https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/issues/3986

Perhaps the generated file isn’t really at that location, but given the analyzer treats/reports it like it is, then I expect that the editorconfig should actually apply.

The tracking issue for this is https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/issues/47384.

But that’s where VS Pro puts them.

This is also covered in the issue above, e.g. comment https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/issues/47384#issuecomment-1010270932.
