Visual Studio Auto-Format Broken

Question

I'm running Visual Studio 2008 sp1 on Windows 7 Build 7100 32bit.

I've never had this problem before, even on different installs of Windows 7 RC.

when I finish a statement with a ';' or '}' or something, normally VS will auto format that line or block of code. It hasn't been for me.

I checked Tools->Options->Text Editor->C#->Formatting->General, and the 3 "Auto Format" check boxes are checked already. When I press the hot key to auto-format, it formats the source as expected.

Anyone have any idea why it's doing this?

What I have installed that might have something to do with this: VS2008 SP1 SQL Server 2008 sp1 Office 2007

Thanks for the help
