useTabs workspace setting does not override useTabs user setting

See original GitHub issue

Summary

I wanted to set a useTabs value specifically for a Workspace. I wanted the Workspace to use spaces instead of tabs, while leaving the User settings using tabs.

The problem is that Prettier keeps on formatting the code using tabs.

Steps To Reproduce:

In User settings, set useTabs to true
In Workspace settings, set useTabs to false
Format your code

Expected result

The code should be formatted using spaces.

Actual result

The code is formatted using tabs.

If this is the case, it’s a VSCode bug. We simply read config VS Code resolves. Can you provide a GitHub repo to use to reproduce?

Why do you need a repo to reproduce the issue, if you say that it is a VSCode bug?
