Atom Freezes when typing a space after a set of curly braces

[SidneyNemzer]

MCVE

1. Create a new Elm file, for example Test.elm.
2. Inside the the file, write the following:

a {}<space>

Upon typing the \<space>, Atom freezes.

a is arbitrary -- it's the name of a declaration in this context, but the freeze occurs with any name as far as I can tell. Adding keys to the record is possible, but Atom still freezes after typing the space after the destructuring.

The curly braces seem to cause the problem; a<space>... does not freeze Atom.

Notes

• This might be related to #54
• Since I suspected a "too much recursion" problem, I opened the Atom devtools before triggering the freeze to watch for an error. But after about 5 minutes, Atom was still frozen (and no error in the console). Maybe it's not infinite recursion, or at least V8 doesn't think so.
• Atom will detect the editor is frozen after a minute or two and ask if you want to force close the editor
• Also occurs in type signatures: a : {}<space> (freezes at the \<space>)
• Doesn't seem to occur outside of type signatures or declarations. Typing {}<space> in an otherwise empty file doesn't cause a problem

Update: this also occurs with tuples:

a ()<space> causes a freeze

@SidneyNemzer, this is indeed a bug. You can uncheck Enable Signature Help in the meantime if you keep on running into this. I'm checking it right now. Thanks!

@SidneyNemzer, can you try the latest version (v8.1.3) with Enable Signature Help checked? Thanks!

[SidneyNemzer]

Better! But tuples and records inside a declaration still cause a freeze

-- Works now:
a ()<space>
a {}<space>

-- Freezes:
a = ()<space>
a = {}<space>

[SidneyNemzer]

I also found that parentises that don't denote a tuple still cause a freeze:

a = (b >> c)<space> -- Freeze

@SidneyNemzer, how about v8.1.4?

[SidneyNemzer]

Seems to be fixed now. Thanks for the quick responses!

Thank you too!
