In addition to Tim's answer, this issue occurred for me when I was splitting up a refactoring a file, splitting it up into their own files.

VSCode, for some reason, indented parts of my [class] code, which caused this issue. This was hard to notice at first, but after I realised the code was indented, I formatted the code and the issue disappeared.

for example, everything after the first line of the Class definition was auto-indented during the paste.

export class MyClass extends Something {
    public blah: string = null;

    constructor() { ... }
  }
