Just to check, does this resolve for you if you install https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=EditorConfig.EditorConfig?
If that's not installed, VS Code itself doesn't really know about .editorconfig files; I can imagine you might be in a case where the .editorconfig says it should be a tab, but VS Code thinks it should still be a space, and we might be giving preference to VS Code's opinion in that case (not realizing it doesn't know better.)
AfroSpartan commentedon Jan 27, 2024
No, I already have that installed. Also I have VS Code configured for tabs
jasonmalinowski commentedon Jan 29, 2024
@AfroSpartan Strange -- the information filed with your bug doesn't list it which should have been filed in automatically.
jasonmalinowski commentedon Jan 29, 2024
(although if you also have it configured for tabs it's moot anyways)

Until a fix is found for this
dotnet_diagnostic.IDE0055.severity = nonewill suppress this warningKiryonn commentedon May 5, 2026
still bugged in 2026
firedraco commentedon Oct 11, 2026
Still broken 😢
dibarbet commentedon Oct 28, 2026
For the original report in the issue description, it appears to be a problem with line endings. It looks like the file is using
lfline endings. There is no configured line endings in the.editorconfig, so Roslyn assumes the platform default which iscrlf. When the formatter analyzes comments in particular, it thinks it should be usingclrfand re-writes them. Think there are a couple problems here:lf.A workaround here would be to set an explicit value for
end_of_lineand then ensure all the files match that.
