Unable to kill-region of empty line in strict mode

[dakrone]

Expected behavior

When in strict-mode, I expect to be able to highlight empty lines and hit C-w to invoke kill-region, which should remove the empty lines.

Actual behavior

Instead, smartparens complains about an "Unbalanced region"

Steps to reproduce the problem

I reproduced it with a .js file, but any file where smartparens-strict-mode is enabled will work.

Starting with a file like:

{
  "foo": "bar"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
|
}

Where | is the cursor and XXXXX is the highlighted region (see screenshot)

(Basically I hit C-SPC on the line below "foo": "bar" and then moved the cursor down one line with C-n to highlight the entire empty line)

Hit C-w, and instead of removing the empty line, I get the error about "Unbalanced region".

It's interesting to note that if I hit backspace to issue a delete-backwards-char, the region is correctly deleted.

Backtraces if necessary (M-x toggle-debug-on-error)

This has already been fixed in #775.

Thanks for the report however, I value the early feedback very much!

You're right, I should have updated to the latest package this morning before filing this, thanks for the quick fix @Fuco1, I've confirmed it's fixed now!
