Description

The brackets inside LaTeX environments such as equation and align are not matched.

Steps to Reproduce

As a minimal example, consider the LaTeX file given below where I provide comments about whether the brackets are matched.

\documentclass{report}  % braces are matched

\begin{document}  % braces are matched

(a) = 1.  % parentheses are matched

$(a) = 1$.  % parentheses are NOT matched

\begin{equation}  % braces are matched
  (a) = 1.  % parentheses are NOT matched
\end{equation}  % braces are matched

\begin{align}  % braces are matched
  (a) = 1.  % parentheses are NOT matched
\end{align}  % braces are matched

\end{document}  % braces are matched

However, if I run Atom in safe mode by running atom-beta --safe, then the previously unmatched brackets are matched correctly.

Expected behavior: Parentheses inside LaTeX environments such as equation and align are matched.

Actual behavior: They are not matched.

Reproduces how often: 100% of the time.
