Syntax highlighting breaks when nesting

[niij]

Atom 1.8.0 language-scala 1.1.6

The first right-bracket shows highlights correctly, but all right brackets after the first closing bracket are not highlighted.

This issue is still present, but I'm closing due to inactivity.

@niij I don't think that closing it helps anything (except attracting attention which could be done by a simple comment).

It's hard to deal with the regexp-based grammar definitions, so only few people feel confident to contribute to this repo, but still it's the only option we have in Atom at the moment. So even if not fixing this bug, let's keep it open to keep the track of the known problems.

By the way, an opportunity to change this situation is contributing to the https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-scala project, it's will very likely become a successor of this syntax definition and, hopefully, a much better one.

Sure I can reopen it! I just didn't want to clutter up this repo with a 2 year old issue that's pretty minor.
