I found a simple work around for when I first open a file and it’s not formatted
-
Replace all @ with @@
-
Format Document
-
Replace all @@ with @
That works but it’s a pain and normal formatting should just work.

*DELETED COMMENT*
Couldn't find an issue for this, and when I tried to repro, I couldn't get JavaScript formatting to work at all, whether there was an @if in there or not.
I have this issue too. I post it on VS Feedback, and they send me here. I comment here for them to know that others have problem too.

Thanks @aliajboy , generally we move things to GitHub if we have enough information from the user to verify the bug and no longer directly need more information. As an open source project this works best for us. In general if you find that you have feedback moved and want to make sure to help prioritize, a 👍 on the top of the issue is helpful :) We also monitor activity for comments and other things. Appreciate you following up!
For me, regardless of using razor inside script or not, typing JavaScript is slower than in .js files and intellisense works after a delay. I mostly put script in .js files, but there's definitely times where I have a small amount in .cshtml, inside a <script> inside @section Scripts. Colorization is OK when inside @section Scripts, but if I have a <script> not in @section then I get no syntax coloring...it's all black.
The above is when opening a .cshtml and going straight to the script code to work with it. But if I make changes in HTML, a style block or add/change a razor block in a .cshtml, then working with script in that same file is worse...many times intellisense doesn't work at all and typing is even slower.
