Visual Studio Code – Visual Studio 2022 version 17.4.1 does not honor tabs configuration when adding new items to the project

I’m having a strange issue with Visual Studio 2022 version 17.4.1.

Basically it seems that, starting from this version, Visual Studio 2022 does not honor the tabs configuration for the C# language when adding new items to the project via the Add -> New Item wizard.

My configuration for the text editor tabs for the C# language (Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C# -> Tabs) are the followings:

• Indenting: Smart
• Tab Size: 2
• Indent Size: 2
• Insert Spaces selected

With the previous versions of Visual Studio 2022 when a new class was added to the project these settings were honored as expected. The indentation used for the C# code in the newly generated class was 2 spaces, as expected given these settings.

Starting from version 17.4.1 I noticed that these settings are always ignored when a new class is added to the project via the Add -> Class or the Add -> New Item wizard.In the newly added class, the indentation used is always 4 spaces instead of the expected 2 spaces. So, my configuration is not being honored.

Is this an expected behavior ?
Is there a known workaround for this ?

This is quite annoying because I have to reformat each time I add a new class to the project.
