[severity:It's more difficult to complete my work] Hi all!

I'm facing a strange issue with .editorconfig and Code Cleanup. In my solution I have the following setting in the .editorconfig:

Then, I have added the "Apply namespace matches folder preferences" in the Included fixers for Code Cleanup:

With this setup, regardless of the setting in the .editorconfig, when I run Code Cleanup on a file whose namespace does not match folder structure, the namespace is changed accordingly.

Am I missing something in the configuration or is there an issue with this feature?

Kindest regards.

Research direction
Investigate how Code Cleanup applies 'Apply namespace matches folder preferences' and whether it respects .editorconfig settings. Look at the code cleanup handler in the Roslyn repository to find where the namespace matching logic overrides the .editorconfig rule.
