@heartacker We support formatRange, which is selection formatting, but I believe in some cases code outside of the range will still be updated if that's what clangFormat or vcFormat decides to do.

Oh, I see the linked vscode issue has some more activity...let us know if still want us to investigate something. I vaguely recall we don't support formatting multiple ranges at a time.

@heartacker Seems like a duplicate of #12119 ? Well, not sure, let us know.

Sorry, I'm not very familiar with more in-depth concepts.
It's very difficult for me to offer more ideas and viewpoints.
Of course, you can follow the steps reproduced in the vscode link to identify the specific root cause. I would be extremely grateful.
