My auto format rules are set to add a space before and after parens in method calls, but they do not apply if the method call is in the same line as a declaration.

I've gone through the formatting settings for my language and turned on spacing options.

bool example = true;
string myString;
myString = GetMyString( example );

But this does not:

bool example = true;
string myString = GetMyString( example);
