Is formatting changed in 1.9 or why is it adding a empty line before `else` in `when`?

Probably because your other branch is multi-line

either new line them all, not just else - or none at all

From <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/coding-conventions.html#control-flow-statements>:
&gt; In a `when` statement, if a branch is more than a single line, consider separating it from adjacent case blocks with a blank line:

fine. but the asymetricity of the whole thing is then just ugly ..if one is multiline then newline them all, regardless

Well, don't complain to me, but to the Kotlin team @ JetBrains. :slightly_smiling_face:

This is a bug. Even if you set min lines to 0, formatting forces it to 1 new line.

I don't know if this has already been reported on YouTrack

And that setting is about when branches with braces, not about multi-line when branches

True, I misread. <@U9DPCUAB0> you could turn this off then:

btw how does changing the setting relate to the official formatting set by the `gradle.properties` ? (`kotlin.code.style=official`)
