Sublime hangs trying to parse object nested in another obj

[falsefalse]

Looks like this commit introduced endless loop somewhere.

Happens on bigger files, here is the minimal test case that reproduces the problem. Could look too artificial on the first glance, but adding an obj into real life ~150 lines class with bunch of methods and static props reliably hangs the editor.

• open the file
• put cursor at the first line
• add empty line above
• type some:, Enter
• type more, attempt to type :, sometimes sublime hangs right away, sometimes allows to type it and then remove it, and then hangs.

Doesn't repro with CoffeeScript.sublime-syntax earlier than 59f5968.

Commenting out named functions rule makes the issue go away.

Definitely a problem with backtracking from a branch somewhere.

Can reproduce on ST 4200, but no longer on 4202.

I don't see obvious implementation faults and none of my attempts to modify, named functions vs. variables has been successfull so far.

Hence, I am inclined to treat this as ST core bug, which has been fixed in latest dev build.

interesting! where does one get 4202 though? the latest dev build is 4199 afaics 🤔

[deathaxe]

It's in private beta. Links are available on ST's discord channel.

ty. apparently, directly opening https://download.sublimetext.com/sublime_text_build_4202_mac.zip works as well

Note, those builds use python 3.13 and thus may have some side effects requireing manual adjustments. E.g. Package Control needs some manual patching until we are allowed to create and publish new releases again.
