Getting frivolous infinite loop messages #88

Description

@iamkroot

Simply typing $ in the open/create file input field gives the infinite loop message.

Seems like it happens because transform_aliases is being called after every key press (to show the expanded path in the status bar). So as we start typing an alias with a $, this triggers the warning.

has_unescaped_dollar should check that there are other chars after the $ for it to count as an alias.

def has_unescaped_dollar(string):
start = 0
while True:
index = string.find("$", start)
if index < 0:
return False
elif string[index - 1] == "\\":
start = index + 1
else:
return True

Also, a separate bug- index == 0 is not handled properly in this
