Wish ALT + F strange formats

[Lello1964]

I have this code :

Sub test1
    Dim a,b,c As Int
    Dim flg1, flg2 As Boolean

    a = 10
    b = 20

    flg2 = True

    If flg1 Then : a = 45 : b = 40 : flg1 = True  : End If
    If flg2 Then : a = 34 : b = 55 : flg2 = False : End If
    
End Sub

if i try to formats with ALT + F, i have this :

Sub test1
    Dim a,b,c As Int
    Dim flg1, flg2 As Boolean

    a = 10
    b = 20

    flg2 = True

    If flg1 Then : a = 45 : b = 40 : flg1 = True  : End If
        If flg2 Then : a = 34 : b = 55 : flg2 = False : End If
            
        End Sub

It' s a formatter error ?

I don't recommend to write such code. The IDE discourages the usage of colons to create new statements. You will not get autocomplete, formatting and probably other editing features.

I remember some decades ago I programed on a HP 9836 computer with HP Basic.
This Basic accepted only one instruction per line,therefore no semi-colon.
Since that time, I have never used any.
Even this If xxx Then yyy was not allowed.
