Format selection doesn't use user's choice

See original GitHub issue

Bug: Notebook Editor, Interactive Window, Editor cells

Steps to cause the bug to occur

Select black as formatting provider
Change to autopep8 (or any other provider) (Code->Preferences->“python formatting provider”)
Try auto-formatting a selection

Actual behavior

The extension throws an error saying that black can’t format selections, which is true, except the formatter was explicitly set to autopep8

Expected behavior

The extension should use the selected formatting provider.

That “python.formatting.provider” setting will definitely result in black running rather than autopep8. Also, the folder settings take precedence over the workspace settings. So that explains the behavior. If you change the workspace folder setting does everything work as expected?
