Subject: [PATCH] fix: typing `t<` on pattern editor spams the log infinitely
 (#2379)

The error was caused when the search for the closing delimiter extended
past the last token in the sequence, which happened because the initial
increments before the loop starts were not being accounted for in the
loop ending condition. This was fixed by decrementing the limit of
possible steps to account for the initial steps taken.
