macrostep-c Not working with c-ts-mode

[Dickby]

Whenever I try to use macrostep in c-ts-mode it errors with Scan error: "Unbalanced parentheses".
If i really need to use it, i have to switch to c-mode just for that command.

I am also running into this same error message. However, it is happening even in emacs-lisp-mode.

I do also use some tree-sitter modes, though I still run into this error in sessions where none of them have been activated.

@Dickby do you happen to be using lispy + the macrostep lispy-compat feature?

Well, it might not matter anyway -- this is a known issue from the original repo (see the list). See joddie#11 (comment) for a workaround, which I can confirm fixes the issue. Reposting so it doesn't get lost:

             (= (point) (cdr (bounds-of-thing-at-point 'sexp))))
