<p dir="auto">Opening this file:  <a href="https://github.com/espadrine/aulx/blob/master/html/tokenizer.js">https://github.com/espadrine/aulx/blob/master/html/tokenizer.js</a></p>
<p dir="auto">Causes the parser to choke and Atom warns several times about not responding. Eventually you have to give up and quit the whole app.</p>
<p dir="auto">The exact line that is doing it is this: <a href="https://github.com/espadrine/aulx/blob/master/html/tokenizer.js#L63">https://github.com/espadrine/aulx/blob/master/html/tokenizer.js#L63</a></p>
<p dir="auto">If I remove the line there is no problem.</p>
<p dir="auto">I notice that when opening the file in Sublime 3 they don't syntax colorize that line at all. For any really long line they just skip it.</p>

<p dir="auto">May be a known issue, but files with large embedded images such as github's public/enterprise/maintenance.html will often cause Atom to freeze (MacVim actually struggles as well).</p>
<p dir="auto">Seems some of them (github's public/maintenance.html for instance) work fine when in soft wrap mode, or until you move your cursor to the long line when out of soft wrap.</p>
