Doesn't apply/recognize the rules until I open .editorconfig file

Please fill-in this template.

• I have a question that is specific to this extension; thus, inappropriate for the main EditorConfig issue tracker.
• I tried running code --disable-extensions and the issue did NOT present itself.

Issue

	Visual Studio Code	editorconfig-vscode
Version	1.61.2	0.16.4

Root .editorconfig File

root = true

[*]
indent_style = space
end_of_line = lf
charset = utf-8
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
insert_final_newline = true

[*.js]
indent_style = space
indent_size = 4

Are there any other relevant .editorconfig files in your project? No

Visual Studio Code Setting	Default	User	Workspace
editor.insertSpaces	true	____	____
editor.tabSize	4	2	_
editor.trimAutoWhitespace	true	____	____
files.autoSave	"off"	"___"	"___"
files.insertFinalNewline	false	_____	_____
files.trimTrailingWhitespace	false	_____	_____

File opened

./foo.js

Expected behavior

indent_size = 4

Actual behavior

indent_size = 2

Additional comments or steps to reproduce

I think the extension doesn't get activated after connecting to a remote host. I have to trigger the extension to recognize my rules once I open my .editorconfig file.

• Have a remote server that can accept SSH connections
• Create a project folder that contains .editorconfig
• Have a JS file ready
• Follow the instructions in https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh#_installation to install the Remote Development extension set.
• Open an SSH connection with a remote server inside the VSCode via the RD extension
• Open the JS file and expect it to have 2 spaces for indentation
• Open the .editorconfig file and observe the visual changes on the JS file.
• The spaces indicator in the status bar shows 4 instead of 2 after opening the .editorconfig

Same for me and it's not even on a SSH connection.

It's not until I open .editorconfig, but until I switch to any tab.

it's annoying that I have to open .editorconfig file to active the extension each time I open VSCode.
