Description

When running autoformat, concise code like

String s(int i) {
    return switch (i) {
        case 1 -> "one";
        case 2 -> "two";
        default -> throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
    };
}

is replaced with

String s(int i) {
    return switch (i) {
        case 1 ->
            "one";
        case 2 ->
            "two";
        default ->
            throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
    };
}

which I find harder to read. I have not found a setting to disable this behaviour.
