Auto Format refuses to cuddle else to closing curly bracket

[SEKCobra]

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title.
• I have searched all open and closed issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
• I have read the troubleshooting guide.
• I am sure this issue is with the extension itself and does not reproduce in a standalone PowerShell instance.
• I have verified that I am using the latest version of Visual Studio Code and the PowerShell extension.
• If this is a security issue, I have read the security issue reporting guidance.

Summary

No matter what I set up in the formatting options, I am able to use condensed formatting, but can't get "else" to cuddle up to "}"

if($test){

} else{

}

It should be

if($test){

}else{

}

Thanks for your submission!

First, I notice you are using PowerShell 5.1 in your extension terminal, we really strongly encourage you to use 7.5+, 5.1 is best effort support.

Second, formatting is provided by https://github.com/PowerShell/PSScriptAnalyzer, so if you do Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer on the same code and the result is the same, you'll need to file an issue there, there's not much we can do about it here. Thanks!
