Description

You can tell when this happens from looking at the logging, because the formatting request will get "received" but not invoked until the IntelliSense update is finished.

This might be fixed by https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/10956 .

Research direction

Start by reproducing the delayed “Extract to function” formatting operation and inspect the logging: the request is received but waits for the IntelliSense update before invocation. Review the possible fix in issue #10956 and determine whether the formatting request is invoked independently once the underlying delay is resolved.
