Loss of Characters (eaten) on Save

[ArjunDhar]

Hi,
ive had a pretty serious issue with VSCode (details & settings available at the end of this report).
But decided to report it when I realized some other VSCode developers are having the same issue.

Issue
After working a few minutes (random, nothing to do with time) On Save ; characters are removed. Maybe related to Auto format (?!)

Hack fix
Only way to get around is Close Workspace. Even closing the file does not help. So I jsut trust Git and if I notice any changes, copy , reopen the workspace and paste :(

  Reg. other settings I have tried many settings; so please dont think this issue is only specific to this setting. At the time of writing however my setting is:

    "editor.fontSize": 13,
    "terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\cmd.exe",
    "go.formatTool": "gofmt", //"goreturns",
    "go.useLanguageServer": true,
    "go.autocompleteUnimportedPackages": true,
    "go.gocodeAutoBuild": true,

    // Added
    "go.docsTool" :"gogetdoc",
    "go.delveConfig": {
        "dlvLoadConfig": {
            "followPointers": true,
            "maxVariableRecurse": 1,
            "maxStringLen": 64,

            "maxStructFields": -1
        },
        "apiVersion": 2,
        "showGlobalVariables": true
    },

    //Added later

Worspace settings:

			// "path": "."
		}
	],
	"settings": {
