Description
With these versions
IntelliJ IDEA 2025.2.1 (Ultimate Edition)
Build #IU-252.25557.131, built on August 27, 2025
google-java-format (1.28.0.0)
I have the google java format plugin active, and "reformat code" and "optimize imports" active on save.
According to the plugin documentation "When enabled, it will replace the normal Reformat Code and Optimize Imports actions."
But currently when I autoformat a file with ctrl+alt+L and then click out of the editor to trigger the auto save, then the file gets formatted again with different optimized imports.
