Inproper behavior of Outermost parenthesis option under Indent each line relatively to in Visual Studio 2022 17.6.2

Question

I am facing the issue with indentation with Visual Studio 2022 formatting code for second line with group of std::array elements inside of curly braces as below:

constexpr static std::array scalarDataTypes
   {
      uint0_t, uint8_t, uint16_t, uint32_t, uint64_t, sint0_t, sint8_t,
         sint16_t, sint32_t, sint64_t, boolean_t, float_t, double_t
   };

My goal is to get second line with group of std::array elements on the same indent level as in first line as on screenshot below:

constexpr static std::array scalarDataTypes
   {
      uint0_t, uint8_t, uint16_t, uint32_t, uint64_t, sint0_t, sint8_t,
      sint16_t, sint32_t, sint64_t, boolean_t, float_t, double_t
   };

From my understanding setting Outermost parenthesis under Indent each line relatively to (Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Code Style -> Formatting -> Indentation) should solve this behavior, but it doesn't.

Hi @Patryk Stepien, 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

I tested on my side and was unable to find a setting to change the indentation behavior in C++.

Update:

I found it is different between VS2022 Community version 17.4.2 and version 17.6.2.

In version 17.4.2, the indentation behaves as you expect.

You can try to roll back to your VS2022 to the version 17.4.x if you need.

Or you can report it to product team in Developer Community.

Sincerely,

Anna
