Electron: 13.5.2

Node.js: 14.16.0

OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19042

Steps to Reproduce:

1. create a new file, eg. test.py
2. paste in the following code:

   """
     hi
   """
   
   if True:
       if True:
           print(1) 

3. save and close the file
4. re-open the file

the indentation margins are now 2 spaces apart instead of 4 even though the code uses 4 space indentation

It looks like that the indentation rules for Python is not covering this case. Currently the indentation rules for auto indent feature in VS Code is regex based, which doesn't really understand the scope (function, statement) etc. Formatting works more consistently in this scenario, so I would recommend to enable formatting on type or save. Closing this as we don't expect to get around it in the near future.
