Auto indent else inside if block

[thistlillo]

I would like to report exactly the same issue in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/2147.
I am working remotely via remote-ssh on a Linux machine from my Windows 10 laptop.
The Python extension for Visual Studio Code has been installed remotely (and locally).

Basically, just by hitting enter at the end of each line, I get:

def a():
    x = 1 
    if x==1:
        print(1)
        else:
            print(2) 

when I should get (that is what I actually want);

def a():
    x = 1 
    if x==1:
        print(1)
    else:
        print(2)

Thanks for the bug report, I can confirm the issue. This was introduced when we removed the on enter format when editor.formatOnType setting is enabled. We plan to fix all these issues as part of #8996.

Meanwhile, can you try installing the Python Indent extension and see if it helps?

After installing that extension, the automatic indentation (in the case above) is correct. Thank you.

Closing in favour of #8996
