I only see this sometimes while working with JavaScript files when switching through buffers quickly.

Reproducing the bug

1. Open a few JavaScript files.
2. Switch between buffers quickly.

git pull again and you'll no longer see NeoVim's special highlights until this is merged: https://github.com/w0rp/ale/pull/2511

[waferbaby]

@w0rp Thank you! Love your work.

[AlexChalk]

@w0rp can we reopen this? I'm seeing the same issue for commit 6e18c03d

[w0rp]

Pull again. ALE now ignores all errors from that function.
