`"C_Cpp.vcFormat.newLine.scopeBracesOnSeparateLines": true` not working as expected about vscode-cpptools

You're using the wrong vcFormat settings. Use something like

    "C_Cpp.vcFormat.newLine.beforeOpenBrace.block": "newLine",
    "C_Cpp.vcFormat.newLine.beforeOpenBrace.function": "newLine",
    "C_Cpp.vcFormat.indent.braces": false

although I think you may want to set more of the newLine.beforeOpenBrace settings to true.

The "C_Cpp.vcFormat.newLine.scopeBracesOnSeparateLines": true, setting is supposed to apply to code like

void Function()
{
    // Scope
    { int i;
    }
}

but I'm seeing a bug in which the formatting is behaving like it's always true.

Thanks. The description is a bit confusing, though, because a function scope is a scope and a control block is a scope as well.
