[regression] [worked-in:17.4.33110.190]
After updating to VS2026 v 18.2.1 the code cleanup profile does not format the code as before. The most visible difference is that chained method calls are not indented as they were before. The cleanup profile runs each time when the document is saved (some other formattings are applied).
It doesn't help if I format just the selection or whole file or manually run code cleanup profile. I also checked the formattings that are avialable in the profile, but there is no obvious setting that would turn that on.

 var guids = data
            .Where(guid => guid.HasValue)
                .Select(guid => guid!.Value)
        .ToArray();

Should be formatted as:

var guids = data
    .Where(guid => guid.HasValue)
    .Select(guid => guid!.Value)
    .ToArray();
