VS Code Format Selection is formatting the entire document. Why?

Question

I am simply trying to format only the selected text in my Vue project. I have prettier installed and can format the entire document just fine.

I need to format only the selected text which works on my home computer but not my work laptop. I can even right-click the selected text, and see the option Format Selection. If I click it, it formats the entire document.

What is going on? Please help.

I have the same problem as you and the issues seems to be that with prettier-eslint not supporting range formatting.
