Atom editor - TODO highlight for JS?

In Atom editor, TODOs are automatically highlighted with atom/language-todo package, and I can change the style using user stylesheet. That much I know.

So I'm developing a webpage right now, and have to simultaneously work with HTML, CSS, and JS. However it seems that TODOs are only highlighted for HTML and CSS files, not JS files. This is strange because in the settings for atom/language-todo, the scope for all triggers are .html.php.text - HTML is included; CSS and JS are not. So reasonably thinking, either both CSS and JS should have highlight enabled, or both should have it disabled.

What is causing this strange behavior? Is there anything I can do to enable highlighting for JS?

P.S. Currently mrodalgaard/atom-todo-show is my alternate solution. It's quite good but I would still like to have my highlights.

This problem is probably related to this open issue on the atom/language-todo repository: https://github.com/atom/language-todo/issues/82.

As someone suggests in the issue conversation, the todo highlighting can be restored by disabling Atom tree-sitter in the settings:core page.

For more information on how the tree-sitter improves code parsing, see the release article on the Github blog
