How to format long string using vscode extension

Before updating to the new vscode extension, i would format long strings like this to keep them readable:

some_string = "abc " +
    "def " + 
    "ghi"

Now the vscode extension is undoing this formatting and converting it to

some_string = "abc " + "def " + "ghi"

instead. Is there a different way to split up a long string like this that is compatible with the auto formatting?
