Very strange when I tapped """

[neuromaancer]

when I tapped """ for generating autodocstring I got this:

[NilsJPWerner]

Can you post your settings and the code you were trying to generate a docstring for? Does it work when you use the command instead of the completion item?

[neuromaancer]

{
"autoDocstring.docstringFormat": "google",
  "autoDocstring.startOnNewLine": true,
  "autoDocstring.includeName": true,
}

actually this is my setting for autoDocString, and that happens for python code (for the different code), I tested command is good, but I think """ is more convenient ?

[NilsJPWerner]

So when you use the command the backslashes do not appear? Can you post all of your settings? I am curious if there is a setting for snippets that is messing this up.

Yes

I don't think it is my setting causing the problem, because before it worked well (I haven't changed my settings since decades lol)
