Settings do not apply if .editorconfig file is not in curently opened folder / workspace

Please fill-in this template.

• I have a question that is specific to this extension; thus, inappropriate for the main EditorConfig issue tracker.
• I tried running code --disable-extensions and the issue did NOT present itself. (Does not apply as my problem is with the extensions functionality)

Delete the following condition if it doesn’t apply to your case:

If the extension is not picking up the expected configuration for a file:

• I tried npm install editorconfig -g and ran editorconfig [file-in-question] and the configuration was what I expected. If not, please file on the editorconfig-core-js issue tracker.

Issue

	Visual Studio Code	editorconfig-vscode
Version	1.17.2	0.11.1

Root .editorconfig File

root = true

[*]
insert_final_newline = true
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
indent_style = space
indent_size = 4
end_of_line = crlf

Are there any other relevant .editorconfig files in your project? No

Visual Studio Code Setting	Default	User	Workspace
editor.insertSpaces	true	true	____
editor.tabSize	4	2	_
editor.trimAutoWhitespace	true	true	____
files.autoSave	"off"	"off"	"___"
files.insertFinalNewline	false	false	_____
files.trimTrailingWhitespace	false	false	_____

File opened

relative to root .editorconfig: ./dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/foo.sql
relative to folder opened in VS Code: ./dir4/foo.sql

Expected behavior

insert_final_newline = true
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
indent_style = space
indent_size = 4
end_of_line = crlf

Actual behavior

VS Code settings

Additional comments or steps to reproduce

The .editorconfig file is 3 directories up from directory opened in VS Code

Note for some people as me: for [*.{ts,tsx}] do not use space after comma!

After creating the .editorconfig file, I had to close and re-open vscode for it to notice.
