Config read, but not applied

[MichaelJCole]

Hi, trim_trailing_whitespace isn't being applied to my config and it is making me crazy-go-nuts.

Editorconfig: show config:

The editorconfig was applied successfully and the editor for this file should work as expected. If you face any unexpected behavior please report us the issue. ♥️

Active Configuration

Editorconfig-Property   Applied Setting
end_of_line \n
charset auto
indent_style    auto
indent_size/ tab_width  auto
insert_final_newline    true
trim_trailing_whitespace    auto
max_line_length auto
(auto: atom-editorconfig is not influencing that behavior. A full description of the properties can be found on editorconfig.org.)

Fiddling with it, I changed this:

[**.js, **.json]

to this and it worked:

[**.{js,json}]

The first version was an old syntax ported from Sublime.

Thank you for reporting this @MichaelJCole! 💝

This is 2nd issue reporting difficulties with the glob-syntax in a short time. I will keep this in mind hopefully improving this soon.
