Razor formatting removes indentation for array initializers

[severity:It bothers me. A fix would be nice]
If I have the following code in a .cshtml file and format it with Ctrl-K, Ctrl-D, the indentation of the second block is altered, but incorrectly.

@model SampleViewModel
@{
    string minimum = "", maximum = "";
    
    // This piece correctly remains unchanged with Ctrl-K, Ctrl-D
    var dateOptions = new[,]
    {
        {$"Set to minimum ({minimum})", minimum},
        {$"Set to maximum ({maximum})", maximum}
    };
}
<table>
    @{
        // This piece incorrectly changes with Ctrl-K, Ctrl-D
        var dateOptions2 = new[,]
        {
            {$"Set to minimum ({minimum})", minimum},
            {$"Set to maximum ({maximum})", maximum},
        };
    }
</table>
  

The result:

@model SampleViewModel
@{
    string minimum = "", maximum = "";

    // This piece correctly remains unchanged with Ctrl-K, Ctrl-D
    var dateOptions = new[,]
    {
        {$"Set to minimum ({minimum})", minimum},
        {$"Set to maximum ({maximum})", maximum}
    };
}
<table>
    @{
        // This piece incorrectly changes with Ctrl-K, Ctrl-D
        var dateOptions2 = new[,]
        {
    {$"Set to minimum ({minimum})", minimum},
    {$"Set to maximum ({maximum})", maximum},
    };
    }
</table>
  

Similar issues have been raised, and marked as fixed but this issue is occurring in Visual Studio Enterprise v17.8.3 so I assume it’s either a regression or the specific case above has not been fixed.

Just like to add that the Razor editor (as of 17.8.6) does not indent/format correctly for many different scenarios. It really messes with my OCD.

It also becomes much less responsive the larger the Razor file. I have a 600 line page filled with components that brings it to it's knees.

Would love to see a deep dive refactor or rewrite of the Razor editor, especially since so many of us are moving to Razor, as its pretty "unstable" now. Not a deal breaker, but it is certainly annoying/frustrating.

Hate to just complain. If I can assist with screen shots or anything, just let me know.
