I had this same issue and that problem is caused by the extension "JS-CSS-HTML Formatter".I uninstalled it and then it works! Hope it helps someone!

I can confirm that it was the case for me too. Note that I had to restart VS Code after removing the extension. – Amine Zaine Sep 16 '19 at 14:18
I have same problem. Is it possible to use this extension but somehow disable this "feature"? – Wakan Tanka Apr 16 '21 at 12:18

Go to setting (Ctrl + ,) and change editor.formatOnSave from true to false: "editor.formatOnSave": false,

I had/have "false". And I even reinstalled the program, all the same situation. Maybe, do you have another advice? – Asterix Jul 02 '17 at 18:25

just make sure you disable/untick/make it false*(however your setting appears)* in FormatOnSave both in the user and workspace in VS CODE SETTINGS

I just enter image description herehad this issue as well and had to go to the tab >>> Code/Preferences/Settings/ In the search bar type in Formatting. Then look for what is being formatted on save. Mine was the "HTML > Format: Enable" I unchecked it and it fixed my problem. I know this is an old issue but I hope this answer helps others now in 2019.
