Wrong behaviour with insert_final_newline = true and "files.autoSave": "afterDelay"

[psnet]

Please fill-in this template.

• I have a question that is specific to this extension; thus, inappropriate for the main EditorConfig issue tracker.
• I tried running code --disable-extensions and the issue did NOT present itself.

Issue

	Visual Studio Code	editorconfig-vscode
Version	1.63.2	v0.16.4

Root .editorconfig File

# top-most EditorConfig file
root = true

# Unix-style newlines with a newline ending every file
[*]
end_of_line = lf
insert_final_newline = true
trim_trailing_whitespace = true

# Matches multiple files with brace expansion notation
[*.{js,ts,tsx}]
charset = utf-8
indent_style = space
indent_size = 4

# Tab indentation (no size specified)
[Makefile]
indent_style = tab

# Matches the exact files either package.json or .travis.yml
[{package.json,.travis.yml}]
indent_style = space
indent_size = 2

Are there any other relevant .editorconfig files in your project? No

Visual Studio Code Setting	Default	User	Workspace
editor.insertSpaces	true	____	____
editor.tabSize	4	_	_
editor.trimAutoWhitespace	true	____	____
files.autoSave	"off"	"afterDelay"	"___"
files.insertFinalNewline	false	_____	_____
files.trimTrailingWhitespace	false	_____	_____

File opened

./file.ts

Expected behavior

When typing on last line in file and when (on auto save) added new insert_final_newline = true text cursor will stay where I stop typing.

Actual behavior

When typing something on last line of file and stop typing after auto save (after delay) will be added new empty line (due config insert_final_newline = true) and text cursor will be moved on that new empty line so need manually back to previous line to continue typing.

I also have this issue - It is quite annoying

In fact this behaviour is not consistent with trim_trailing_whitespace=true + afterDelay. In that case the trailing whitespaces are removed only when forcing to save the file

I also have this issue. I found out vscode used to have it also and they fixed, hopefully won't be hard for editorconfig-vscode to replicate the fix.

This is a major annoying issue for years. Also reported on StackOverflow (turn feature off, problem solved! LOL).

Does the related fix in VSCode inspire someone to work on this issue?

File > Preferences > Settings > Auto Save

changing the 'auto save' setting to 'onFocusChange' You can work normally now
