Code formatting repeats part of the code
See original GitHub issuePrerequisites
- I have written a descriptive issue title.
- I have searched all issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
- I have read the troubleshooting guide.
- I am sure this issue is with the extension itself and does not reproduce in a standalone PowerShell instance.
- I have verified that I am using the latest version of Visual Studio Code and the PowerShell extension.
Summary
Well I certainly haven’t seen this before. Let me know if I should move this to the PSSA repo instead.
I find myself in a bizarre situation where formatting causes part of my code to be repeated. I think a GIF explains it the best: (Title is cut off because of the height - I can’t share too much of the file 😕)

Yeah, feel free to keep this one closed. I haven’t had the opportunity to use PowerShell since opening this issue. If it does happen again later down the road, I’ll let you know.
That’s because it’s the holidays, msftbot 😦. I can install the preview extension, but since I can’t reliably reproduce it, I’m not sure how useful of a baseline that will be.
