Summary

This is a strange one. It happens sometimes, randomly. Now I got it on tape. 🎥

So the linter will get stuck in some strange state, complaining about an error that is not there.

I then do CTRL + S, and a lot of stuff gets stripped. CTRL + Z to get it back. Did this twice, the second time the linter seemed to "catch up", and the problem went away.
