LSP textDocument/formatting appends result instead of replacing range

Hi again,

one of the lsp extensions I’m working on has document formatting capabilities, but it seems that Nova doesn’t respect the range in the response TextEdit struct and fully inserts the result to the existing document at 0,0 - essentially duplicating the text in the editor.

here is a log the rpc exchange in that case:

	},
	"options" : {
	  "trimTrailingWhitespace" : false,
	  "tabSize" : 4,
	  "insertFinalNewline" : false,
	  "insertSpaces" : false
	}
  }
}

		  "character" : 0
		},

		}
	  }
	}
  ],
  "id" : 129
}

		  },
		  "start" : {

		  }
		}
	  }
	]
  }
}

can you perhaps look into that? is there any reason the ranges don’t match for these requests/responses?

Thank you for the report. I will investigate.

maybe it’s helpful to have another example from a different LSP with the same problem:

	}
  ],

}

let me know if you need more information

Hi, I’ve also seen this in my nova-prisma extension and have had one of the users complain about this, can that add two votes to this?

Thanks,
Rob
