Go fmt -w -s bug?

Hi all,

I’m getting a werid go fmt -w -s output. Has anyone experiences this? The line before a multi-line is not aligned properly in a struct list. In my case, my inID is way off the column alignments, consistently.

Is this a valid bug?

What version of Go are you using (go version)?

$ go version
go version go1.12.1 linux/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yet to explore 1.12.3 just release

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

go env Output

What did you do?

When applying $ gofmt -w -s . to the source code, the line before a multi-line was formatted into a weird, not aligning to the correct column. It is very consistent for all the lines right before their respective next multi-lines code.

It happens when I was working on a large struct list for table-driven testing. No issue with execution.

What did you expect to see?

                {
                        inID:          0,
                        inAction: (AsymmetricEncryptAction |
                                AsymmetricDecryptAction),
                        inBadRand:     false,
                        outError:      false,
                        outPublicKey:  true,
                        outPrivateKey: true,
                }, {
                        inID:          1,
                        inAction:      AsymmetricEncryptAction,
                        inBadRand:     false,
                        outError:      false,
                        outPublicKey:  true,
                        outPrivateKey: true,
                }, {
                        inID:          2,
                        inAction:      AsymmetricDecryptAction,
                        inBadRand:     false,
                        outError:      false,
                        outPublicKey:  true,
                        outPrivateKey: true,
                }, {
                        inID:          3,
                        inAction:      SignAction | VerifyAction,
                        inBadRand:     false,
                        outError:      false,
                        outPublicKey:  true,
                        outPrivateKey: true,

What did you see instead?

                        inID: 0,
                        inAction: (AsymmetricEncryptAction |

                        inBadRand:     false,
                        outError:      false,
                        outPublicKey:  true,
                        outPrivateKey: true,
                }, {
                        inID:          1,
                        inAction:      AsymmetricEncryptAction,
                        inBadRand:     false,
                        outError:      false,
                        outPublicKey:  true,
                        outPrivateKey: true,
                }, {
                        inID:          2,

Raised as a bug in Github (https://github.com/golang/go/issues/31431). It is indeed an issue requires investigation.
