trim_trailing_whitespace = false not working

[jibbers42]

• [x] 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:

• [x] 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	1.12.2	0.9.3

Root .editorconfig File

# Editor configuration, see http://editorconfig.org
root = true

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

[*.md]
max_line_length = off
trim_trailing_whitespace = false

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

Visual Studio Code Setting	Default	User	Workspace
editor.insertSpaces	true	____	____
editor.tabSize	4	2	_
editor.trimAutoWhitespace	true	____	____
files.autoSave	"off"	"___"	"___"
files.insertFinalNewline	false	true	_____
files.trimTrailingWhitespace	false	true	_____

File opened

./README.md

Expected behavior

trim_trailing_whitespace = false

Actual behavior

trim_trailing_whitespace = true

Additional comments or steps to reproduce

When I add 2 spaces to the end of a line to create a markdown line break and then save the file, the trailing spaces are removed. OS: Ubuntu 17.04
