<p dir="auto"><strong>Atom Version</strong>: 0.184.0<br>

<p dir="auto">I installed atom via the deb from <a href="https://atom.io/" rel="nofollow">the main site</a>. I previously had v0.182.0 installed, then tried to purged it and the configuration files from my system using <code class="notranslate">sudo apt-get purge atom</code> before getting the newer version, but the "/home/ely/.atom" folder was still there, so I don't know if there's also problem with my package manager.</p>
