When formatting a closing brace followed by a branch, synthesized spaces could misalign the branch if the brace line used tabs. Preserve the brace line’s actual leading whitespace.
- Change: Use the source indentation when moving the branch to a new line.
- Example:
if ($true) {
$true
} else {
$false
}The formatted else now retains the closing brace’s tab indentation.
Sorry, something went wrong.
