Description

I'm using the XML Formatter together with VS Code Online. When I format the XML code the last saved changes will be reverted.

Is this a problem with vs code online?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the XML Formatter in VS Code Online, saving changes before formatting and checking whether they are reverted afterward. Compare the behavior with regular VS Code to determine whether the fix belongs in the formatter or the online integration; done means formatting preserves the latest saved changes.
