C# syntax highlighting is broken by multiline types

• OS Version: Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a new C# file and input the following code

namespace Foo {
	public interface IBar<T> {
		IList<T> Baz(IList<IList<IList<IList<IList<IList<
		IList<IList<T>>>>>>>> foobar);		
	}	
}

2. The type of the foobar variable and the rest of the method has a white text color and no syntax highlighting.

This is how the syntax highlighting looks before the line break:

This is how the syntax highlighting looks with the line break:

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Any update on this? :)

Not sure if this is related but other valid code is broken in multiline statements as well for example

namespace Foo
{
    public class Bar
    {
        public string Name {get; set;}

        public string Test(Bar[] myArray)
        {
            string result = myArray
                                .Where(a => a.Name.Length > 2)
                                .FirstOrDefault()?
                                .Name ?? "Name";

            return result;
        }
    }
}

I'm noticing that even the embedded text here is broken.

I'm using dotnetcore3.1 and C# 8

That is because ? is treated as a conditional operator since it cannot look into next line to see the presence of a . and then backtrack. Related issue was #183 and has been fixed.

This issue is also the same problem as #63 and other linked issues under it.
