False positive at multiline-if-else when using "else if"

[carstenhag]

Expected Behavior

else if () {
}

Should stay as is

Observed Behavior

It gets formatted to

else {
   if () {
   }
}

Steps to Reproduce

    val x = if (showFilter) {
        1
    } else if (activeTabIndex.value == 0) {
        2
    } else {
        null
    } ?: 0

-->

    val x = if (showFilter) {
        1
    } else {
        if (activeTabIndex.value == 0) {
            2
        } else {
            null
        } ?: 0
    }

Tnx for reporting. It is just in time to be fixed in next release.

Similarly the example below should be accepted without reformatting as well:

val foo = if (bar1) {
    "bar1"
} else if (bar2) {
    "bar2"
} else {
    "bar3"
}.plus("foo")
