Multicursor Enter issue with indentation (gif attached)

[stagefright5]

• VSCode Version: 1.51.1 / 1.52.0-insider
• OS Version: Ubuntu 20.04 / Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce:

1. insert 4x spaces at the beginning of a line
2. place multiple cursors on that line
3. Press enter

Expected: Insert newline at each of the positions where cursor is present
Actual Behavior: Inserts newline only at the first (NOT the left most) cursor position

(Let me know the relevant settings values required)

Addiditional info:

• I use tabs (width of 4 spaces) for indentation for formatting

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

@stagefright5 I think this might be caused by one of your installed extensions. Here it is on my machine:

To validate this, could you please try the following:

• Run the command Developer: Toggle Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting
  • This will activate logging of dispatched keyboard shortcuts and will open an output panel with the corresponding log file.
• You can then press Enter and check what command is invoked.

If you are having trouble understanding the output, please feel free to paste here and I can help decipher it for you.

Here is the renderer keyboard troubleshoot log:

renderer4.log

Also, the settings.json:

settings.zip

I have disabled all the extensions. And, now, I can reproduce this with the latest stable too and in Ubuntu.

It is also not exclusive to the multi cursors created using keybinding. I can reproduce this by placing mulitple cursors created using the Alt + Mouse-Left-Click too.

@stagefright5 From the keyboard log, I can confirm that nobody is "stealing" Enter via keybindings. But there is another way that extensions can intercept that, via our type command. That is the way in which vim intercepts Enter.
Does this reproduce when disabling all extensions? Press F1 and then choose Developer: Reload Window with Extensions Disabled

Hey @alexdima , In all of my previuos posts I have made sure that I have disabled all the extensions (by running the command that you have mentioned) and also, at the end of each of my posts I have explicitly stated that I had disabled the extensions.
Can it have anything to do with my settings related to tabs?
May be, inspect my settings here: settings.zip (which has settings.json) and, try to reproduce the issue by applying the exact same settings (copy paste my settings.json).

Also, @alexdima , Please carefully go through each of the above posts. It seems like you are not reading all the comments. It will save me from repeating the same thing again and again.
Thanks.

Thank you for your patience, with your settings, I could finally reproduce. I missed the fact that the editor is configured to use tabs and I believed you might be using vim due to the block cursor in the GIF.

You can workaround by using "editor.autoIndent": "advanced".
