Description

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

[severity:It's more difficult to complete my work] [regression] [worked-in:16.9] Repro steps:

  1. Open a C# project.
  2. Open Text Editor > C# > Code style > Formatting > Spacing
  3. The following settings don't update the preview pane when toggled with the space-bar or mouse-click on the checkbox:
    • "Insert space within parentheses of expessions"
    • "Insert space within parentheses of type casts"
    • "Insert space after cast"
    • "Insert space before open square bracket"
    • And many others. Many options' previews do work, but not others. I can't see a pattern as to why some work and others don't.
