elm-format.exe: getConsoleScreenBufferInfo: invalid argument #355

I'm using Atom editor (atom-beautify). I ran into this error both on Win7 and Win10.

It seems any invalid syntax is the trigger.

I just realized this also happens on Mac (but with more details). Is this intended?

I don't think this is useful. Here are some reasons.

It only shows syntax errors, not all compile errors such as type errors.
It looks a bit cryptic.
Compile error is also shown in console
Realtime messaging is available by other tools like elm-live
It does not disappear when problem has solved

So I'd like to simply move out this alert. Is this specific case for Atom editor?

Yes, the what the alerts appear is specific to the atom plugin.

However, the original error shown in Windows elm-format.exe: getConsoleScreenBufferInfo: invalid argument seems like it might be an actual problem with elm-format.
