I have tried both of these formaters, both did not resolve the issue instead increased the issue. The rule for this says Source code should be indented consistently. The formatter is taking care of this already not sure why this violation is happening. The rules says the indent should be consistent and it is consistent.

So this is a little old but I thought I would go ahead and answer for the future. the columns are

12345

For this I believe setting your indentation to 2 and reformatting should fix everything.
