Indentation setting changes when Code loses focus

[patik]

Issue Type: Bug

1. Open a file that is recognized as being indented with 2 spaces (in my case, a Java file)
2. Use the command pallette to change the indentation to 4 spaces
3. Notice that the faint vertical guides have changed (there's one every 4 characters now, instead of every 2, which is correct)
4. Optionally format the file (with command pallette or by saving)
5. Switch to another window (besides Code)
6. Switch back to Code
7. The indentation has been reverted to 2 spaces

VS Code version: Code 1.40.0 (86405ea, 2019-11-06T17:09:34.601Z)

I'm not able to reproduce this issue in latest VS Code stable on macOS. closing it for now but we can reopen if you are seeing it still.

[jjjjeeffff]

I'm experiencing this now with latest VS Code on macOS. Specifically with a YAML file. I select 2 space indentation and switch window focus to another app and come back to 4 space indentation.

Edit: Nope this is my fault, maybe the same case for you based on your extension list. It was an EditorConfig rule specifying 4-space indentation to *.

I had the same problem and for me it was caused by another extension (editor config) was misconfigured.
