Answer 1

It's definetly because of some Formatter being applied on codeActionsOnSave.

I see you got a notification in the bottom right from VS Code, often this informs you when linters collide.

Also check your settings.json of VS Code, found under Preferences> Settings> top right corner icon. It might be that there are some linters specified for specific files and also the codeActionsOnSave.

Alternatively you can create a .vscode folder in your root folder containing a settings.json that sets workspace specific rules that overwrite your VS Code settings for that workspace. E.g.

{
 "editor.formatOnSave": false,
}

Answer 2

Check if you have installed any "Linters" on VS code. Here is the link if you want to know what are these: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/javascript#_linters

or Probably it is the formatting issue:

The javascript.format.* settings configure the built-in formatter. Or, if the built-in formatter is getting in the way, set "javascript.format.enable" to false to disable it. Link: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/javascript#_formatting
