Indent style and size are ignored for default (*) wildcard

Please fill-in this template.

• I have a question that is specific to this extension; thus, inappropriate for the main EditorConfig issue tracker.
• I tried running code --disable-extensions and the issue did NOT present itself.

Delete the following condition if it doesn't apply to your case:

If the extension is not picking up the expected configuration for a file:

• I tried npm install editorconfig -g and ran editorconfig [file-in-question] and the configuration was what I expected. If not, please file on the editorconfig-core-js issue tracker.

Issue

	Visual Studio Code	editorconfig-vscode
Version	1.74.0	0.16.4

Root .editorconfig File

root = true

[*]
charset = utf-8
end_of_line = lf
indent_size = 2
indent_style = space
insert_final_newline = true
trim_trailing_whitespace = true

Are there any other relevant .editorconfig files in your project? Yes / No

Visual Studio Code Setting	Default	User	Workspace
editor.insertSpaces	true	____	____
editor.tabSize	4	_	_
editor.trimAutoWhitespace	true	____	____
files.autoSave	"off"	"___"	"___"
files.insertFinalNewline	false	_____	_____
files.trimTrailingWhitespace	false	_____	_____

File opened

./hello.md

Expected behavior

indent_size = 2

Actual behavior

indent_size = 4

Actually VSCode says following in status bar: Spaces: 4 (Tab Size: 2).

Additional comments or steps to reproduce

Tried to disable editor.detectIndentation - still no luck, VSCode keeps ignoring [*] settings and uses 4 spaces.

I have this issue as well.

Here are the settings via CLI editorconfig :

$ editorconfig app/client/src/bundles/bundle.js 
charset=utf-8
end_of_line=lf
indent_size=2
indent_style=space
insert_final_newline=true
trim_trailing_whitespace=false
tab_width=2

And here is what VS Code is reporting:

For reference, here is my .editorconfig file:

root = true

[*]
charset = utf-8
end_of_line = lf
indent_size = 2
indent_style = space
insert_final_newline = true
trim_trailing_whitespace = false

[*.{json,php}]
indent_size = 4
indent_style = space

I think it might be related to #341 and microsoft/vscode#168836

Yeah, I'm seeing this too. I have a project that has no .vscode indentation settings, and an .editorconfig specifying indent_style = space indent_size = 2 for all * files.

Previously, if you made a new file in the project, VSCode would show "Spaces: 2" in the status bar. Now it shows "Spaces: 4 (Tab Size: 2)", and indents to 4 spaces on tab key press. (If I remove the .editorconfig file, then it shows "Spaces: 4" instead. This shows that the .editorconfig is being recognized but isn't having the proper effect.)
