Oh, I see now, the video makes your question clear :-)

You are working in a workspace, and the menu option "pretty print" is
doing nothing for your selected code in the workspace.

Indeed, this does seem like a bug, because if pretty printing does not
work in a workspace selection, we should not be presenting the option
in a menu.

I do not know if it would be a good idea to have pretty print for
workspace selections (it is not something that I would think to use),
but either way the menu options should agree with the actual behavior.
