Re: hideshow bug with json-mode

[Andrew Pennebaker <andrew.pennebaker@gmail.com>]

Odd, I'm using the latest version of json-mode and still observing the
problem. I'll file a bug.

I wonder if I'm not describing the test case clearly enough. Make sure

* the major-mode is json-mode
* cursor is on line 3, at column 0 or anywhere besides columns 16/17 where
the curly brace lives
* use hs-toggle-hiding
* file contents are:

{
  "name": "dotfiles",
  "repository": {
    "type": "git"
  }
}

On my machine, toggling on line 3 before the curly brace collapses the
parent like this:

{ ... }

which gets nasty in a larger JSON document, when all I want collapsed is
this:

{
  "name": "dotfiles",
  "repository": { ... }
}

System:

$ find $HOME/.emacs.d/.cask -type d -name '*json-mode*'

/Users/andrew/.emacs.d/.cask/24.4.1/elpa/json-mode-20150413.1948

$ emacs --version
