Do you plan to address this issue? I can see this as well.

Yes, it (and many other issues) are fixed in the new reason-cli package that is built from Azure on every commit.

@jordwalke Is there some other package to install? I have this issue with version [email protected].

As far as I can tell the last update to this repo was April 2018 and this bug was raised in June 2019, so I don't see how a fix could have been released after this. This bug is still there with 3.3.3 which appears to be the latest version.

You can use bsrefmt instead of refmt. As mentioned in #103 this repo appears to be archived, it's not mentioned in the editor plugins anymore.

I commented in #103 that if you're using Vim you can run bsrefmt easily enough with the comment :!bsrefmt --in-place %

bsrefmt --version gives 3.6.0 and as far as I understand refmt was just the same base bsrefmt.

bsrefmt does fix this issue and handle single line comments.
