codeFormatting.whitespaceBetweenParameter setting causing characters to be dropped from scripts #1529
Description
Issue Type: Bug
If "powershell.codeFormatting.whitespaceBetweenParameter" is set to "true", running the auto formatter will result in loss of some characters from scripts.
E.g.
Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=$VariableName;]$VariableValue"
Becomes
Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=$VariableName;$VariableValue"
Note the loss of the "]"
If the setting is commented out in settings.json or you set it to "false", the formatter behaves properly.
This also happens with the PowerShell Preview extension.

Rob Peck (@sbrp) Thank you for taking the time to provide details. This is a new setting that we recently added and its default is
false. This issue has already been fixed as part of #1498 but is pending a patch release of PSScriptAnalyzer, which we plan to do in the next few weeks. In the meantime we suggest to set the setting value to its default value offalse.FYI Rob Holt (@rjmholt) James Truher (@JamesWTruher) Sydney Smith (@SydneyhSmith)
