Sometimes, deleting a .js file or renaming .js to es6 will stop compiles for directory.

[ergose]

Originally, I renamed a .js file to .es6 and then compiling stopped. I had been creating files as .es6 and had accidentally done .js, so I was correcting that when it happened. What's odd is, if it happens and then I copy all the .es6 files to a fresh directory, open that folder in brackets, and click the file, it goes back to compiling just fine. I did several variations in fresh directories, and once it stops compiling, the only thing that would work was to move them to a fresh directory. I've also tried deleting the .js file and sometimes the compiling would stop. I'd say 70% of the time one of those two things will freeze the compiler. The other 30%, deleting the file or renaming did fine and it kept working.

This may be more Brackets related, but no errors are produced until the compiles stop. Here's what I keep seeing:

This is the other variation I keep seeing (event dispatcher only has 'trigger'):

[ergose]

UPDATE: I was trying to get back to coding so I copied everything (only .es6 files + all hidden files too) to a fresh directory. Compiling didn't work. I tried again without copying my .jshintrc and .brackets.json and it started compiling. Here are my files: .jshintrc

{
  "devel": true,
  "strict": "global"
}

.brackets.json

{
  "language": {
    "javascript": {
      "linting.prefer": "JSHint",
      "linting.usePreferredOnly": true
    }
  }
}

I have a feeling it has more to do with the ".", but j.i.c., there ya go.
