Description

I'm using vanilla settings.

let _ = |first, second: SomeType<With, Many, Many, Many, Many, Many, Many, Many, Many, Generic, Arguments>, third| {};

...formats to...

let _ = |first,
         second: SomeType<
    With,
    Many,
    Many,
    Many,
    Many,
    Many,
    Many,
    Many,
    Many,
    Generic,
    Arguments,
>,
         third| {};

Is this expected behavior? I would have expected...

let _ = |first,
         second: SomeType<
             With,
             Many,
             Many,
             Many,
             Many,
             Many,
             Many,
             Many,
             Many,
             Generic,
             Arguments,
         >,
         third| {};

...or (I'm not a big fan of the 1 space indentation for closure arguments)...

let _ = |
    first,
    second: SomeType<
        With,
        Many,
        Many,
        Many,
        Many,
        Many,
        Many,
        Many,
        Many,
        Generic,
        Arguments,
    >,
    third
| {};

Research direction

Start by reproducing the provided closure example with rustfmt's vanilla settings and compare the actual output with both proposed alternatives. Investigate the formatter paths responsible for closure arguments and generic argument indentation. Done means the formatting behavior is agreed upon and the reproduced case produces the selected consistent output.
