Hi @VegetationBush ,

Thanks for flagging this! This is a limitation of the current formatter, and the workaround is to use parentheses. We are planning a next-gen formatter and working on providing a better solution for this.

I’ve moved this request to the post:

Please feel free to share more suggestions there.

Thank you!
