Compilation fails spuriously until I retype semicolon #2879
Description
Describe the problem
Same thing has happened to me a few times this week.
I have a semi colon at the end of my line but I get this error with the line number:
error: expected ';' before '}' token
I go to the line above that curly bracket, which does have a semicolon, and I erase the semicolon and retype it and it compiles.
The last time it happened, I compiled 3 times in a row without changing anything and it still error'd so I don't think it ran the code before autosave completed.
To reproduce
Just happens randomly.
I tried erasing the semicolon, typing it again and hitting CTRL+SHIFT+U to compile and upload really fast and beat the autosave but seems like it saves before compile anyway.
Expected behavior
No error when there is a semicolon at the end of the line
Arduino IDE version

Additional context
