Summary
In version 1.96.3 of VS Code, there’s an issue with Prettier when using the formatOnSave feature. It mirrors the old symptoms mentioned in previous comments. Prettier is the only formatting plugin I’m using, and the problem occurs when formatting .js files that have significantly more lines than what’s visible in the editor. Here are my settings:
{
"trailingComma": "es5",
"tabWidth": 2,
"semi": true,
"singleQuote": false,
"arrowParens": "always"
}Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions on how to fix it?
Steps To Reproduce:
- Make changes to a file that result in line breaks when formatting.
Expected result
We expect that the file or modified section (version control system is required) will be formatted correctly according to Prettier settings. The cursor should remain in the same position in the editor and not be permanently moved to the end of the file.
Actual result
The formatting is correct, but the cursor moves to the end of the file.
Additional information

11.0.0
OS and version:

I am having a similiar issue using VSCode v1.97.0 and prettier-vscode v11.0.0. It is highly irritating.
tinywaves commentedon Feb 19, 2025
The issue I encountered is that the cursor at a certain position jumps back to its pre-formatting location after formatting, not necessarily moving to the end.
Through my testing, even if I am not formatting via Prettier, simply enabling this extension causes similar problems.
