Description

Running gdscript-format-buffer, once the formatting operation completed, does not revert the buffer instantly, letting you type characters that can get lost. That is unlike gdscript-format-region, that locks Emacs until the formatter finished its work (which takes a split second now).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the async behavior in gdscript format buffer and compare with gdscript format region to determine why the buffer does not revert instantly after formatting. Look for missing or incorrect buffer update hooks.
