Indentation not being kept for blank lines?

[RandomGgames]

When I indent code, I keep empty lines indented to the same indentation as the next non-empty line below them.
An example of this can be seen just in the comments of this python function for example:

#Note: tabs have been replaced with .... for seeing the difference
def create_dir(dir_path):
...."""
....Create a directory if it does not already exist.
....
....Args:
........dir_path (str): The directory path to create.
...."""

However when the formatter is run, The indentation is removed, leaving me with

#Note: tabs have been replaced with .... for seeing the difference
def create_dir(dir_path):
...."""
....Create a directory if it does not already exist.

....Args:
........dir_path (str): The directory path to create.
...."""

Please note: I am using v9.10.4. I am running VSCode's autoformat key when this issue occurs. It may be possible that this is a problem with my VSCode settings but I don't believe it is. I can post my vscode settings file if needed.

Is this something the extension is doing for everyone or is there something with my settings I need to change?
I will move this post from Q&A to Ideas if this is something prettier format does.
