Thanks for the report! I was unable to reproduce with 1.40.1 on ubuntu 19.04 just now - have you already tried temporarily resetting to factory defaults to see if that makes any difference?

Also what distro are you using?

Hi. Sorry for wasting your time, I've spent all of today trying to debug this, and basically this gets down to some sort of mismatch in the Node's native module interface. In this particular case, NativeBuffer.findAndMarkAllSync was always returning undefined. Apparently this was caused by a dirty build environment. That is to say, after I've remembered to run script/clean before rebuilding, I couldn't reproduce the issue anymore. Just finished with this. Sorry again for the bogus report.

Ahh ok no problem, forgot to ask if you might be building Atom too - thanks for letting us know what the issue was and for closing atom/atom#19918 👍
