What parser are you using?

(Initially noticed with an environment which I think uses) vue-eslint-parser (but reproduced as below).

What did you do?

In ESLint demo, paste the following, or use this link:

/* eslint key-spacing: [ "error", {"singleLine" : { "beforeColon": false, "afterColon": true }, "multiLine" : { "beforeColon": false, "afterColon": true }, "align" : { "beforeColon": true, "afterColon": true, "on": "colon" } }] */

// I use the rules above to line up my colons

// Lining these up used to be ok
const a = {
  item       : 123,
  longerItem : (
    1 + 1
  ),
};

// This is still fine
const b = {
  item       : 123,
  longerItem : 456,
};

// No, I specifically don't want this style, it used to be an error, I want my colons to align
const c = {
  item: 123,
  longerItem: (
    1 + 1
  ),
};

// these lines just to get rid of output about a, b, c being unused
a.item++;
b.item++;
c.item++;

What did you expect to happen?

The first two const assignments to a and b should have no error and c should raise an error, fixable to become like a.

What actually happened?

Errors are reported in case a, not c. ESLint will attempt to 'correct' to c.

Error
7:7
Extra space after key 'item'.  ([key-spacing](https://eslint.org/docs/rules/key-spacing))

Error
8:13
Extra space after key 'longerItem'.  ([key-spacing](https://eslint.org/docs/rules/key-spacing))

I assume it was broken by #16532.
