Multiline Division Syntax Highlighting

Open markpalantoni opened this issue 7 years ago • 0 comments

Description

When the forward slash is used as dividing operator and the expression spans multiple lines, the rest of the statement becomes highlighted as a regular expression. Adding another forward slash stops the incorrect highlighting. Seems like there is a problem with interpreting multiline division statements as regular expressions.

Steps to Reproduce

open new file with Ruby syntax highlighting and type:

a = 2 /
    2

Expected behavior: It syntax highlights as arithmetic like when using multiplication symbol spanning multiple lines. screen shot 2018-01-12 at 10 38 44 pm

Actual behavior: [What actually happens] screen shot 2018-01-12 at 10 31 50 pm

Reproduces how often: 100%
