Description
I'm having some issues with the folding of functions/symbols in the outline view.
This appears to be triggered when I have lines of code that are too long and split into multiple lines. Variables that appear after this in a function do not get folded into the function in the outline view, and are instead given a new line.


Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue concerns folding functions and symbols in Atom's outline view when a long statement spans multiple lines. Start by reproducing the reported case and inspect how the outline view places variables that follow the split statement; done means those variables remain nested under their function rather than appearing as separate outline entries.
