It seems the default scheme leaves out the "attribute" property in the arrangement rules. Adding them back in works like a charm for me.

The correction can be made in: Preferences > Editor > Code Style > XML enter image description here

  • ctrl + alt + s
  • Search XML

I wanted to do the same steps as the first answer, but I just needed to change the default scheme to project.

I hope that you also solve it this way . Sorry for my English !

If you have a custom code style defined, you have to specify a type for each rule: tag or attribute.

It seems like after the update, if you do not specify a type, the rules will be applied to both. Not sure if it is a bug, but that's how i fixed.

This does not work on 3.5

After adding the attribute type to each rule, it worked
