New Pyx file fails to save with "Code Formatting" enabled

[bpdavis86]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Go to Tools->Preferences->Completion and linting->Code style and formatting and enable "Autoformat files on save" with autopep8 (I'm not sure the provider matters)

2. Create a new file

3. Attempt to save the file with .pyx extension

The file appears to be saved, but is not written to disk. The name appears with an asterisk next to it as unsaved in the open file tab. No error message is shown.

This behavior did not exist on Spyder 4. I performed a clean install of Anaconda and did only 'conda update --all' and 'conda install spyder=5'.

Hi @Meisterrichter. Thanks for reporting. I can successfully reproduce this behaviour in Spyder 6.0.0 dev0 and Spyder 5.0.5 as well.
@ccordoba12 any thoughts on this? This is probably a bug we need to fix.

[ccordoba12]

Yep, I totally agree. We need to fix this and we'll try to in our of our future releases.
