Elm format works when used manually, but not on save - Possible issue on Windows?

[hakonrossebo]

This happens on my windows machine, but not on Linux. The same issue has also been reported here - https://discourse.elm-lang.org/t/fyi-for-anyone-with-vscode-who-updated-to-1-20-1/695

When debugging, this seems to work fine in stdout and in text replace, but somehow it does not show in the editor.

Do you have auto-save enabled?
format-on-save does not work when auto-save is enabled. This is a VSCode limitation.

Probably same issue: #175

@adam77 - Thanks - no I don't have auto-save enabled. @MartinKavik - yes, this seems to be related. Verified that this format on save actually works on my Windows desktop machine - the "Running Save Participants" shows very briefly. On my Windows laptop format on save fails and the same status message is visible probably longer than 750ms. The laptop is a X1 Carbon 16GB 2017 model. On the same laptop, running Ubuntu 16.04, saving is fast and format on save works fine.

I just verified the new formatOnSave timeout override that got merged into VSCode insider. Seems to work ok. Use:

"editor.formatOnSaveTimeout": 1500

I'm not sure if this is an acceptable solution, as my experience is that most Windows systems needs this setting for format on save to work?

It looks like setting "editor.formatOnSaveTimeout" is good suggested way forward for this feature.
