Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression

[ghost]

[Enter steps to reproduce below:]

1. Start atom
2. Type in /*** and then the character @ (note: which because of Right ALT not supported (bad for International Keyboards) atom-keymap#35 is actually executing Ctrl+Alt+Q which executes autoflow:reflow-selection)

This problem appears on my PC with Windows 7 64-bit, but this doesn't occur on my linux laptop. I have a german keyboard layout.

Atom Version: 0.199.0
System: lukas-PC
Thrown From: autoflow package, v0.23.0

Are you using a US English keyboard layout? Or some other one?

[ghost]

Sorry, a german keyboard layout.

[ghost]

Okay, in this case I think the issue can be closed, or? Ty very much, I was confused why that problem only occurs on windows.

[lee-dohm]

Well, I think this is still a valid bug ... let me just try to reproduce it.

[lee-dohm]

I can reproduce it using Atom v0.200.0-1a8ebd5 on Mac OS X 10.10.3 with the following repro steps:

1. Open Atom
2. Open a new file with Cmd+N
3. Type /*** into the editor
4. Execute the autoflow:reflow-selection command with Cmd+Alt+Q

Expected: Nothing to happen (no reflow needs to occur)
Actual: Error notification appears

Thanks so much for reporting this, it will be fixed in the next Atom release, 0.201.0
