Description Grant Gayed CLA 2013-12-04 22:22:46 EST 
- I20131202-2230
- also happens with the old styler

- start with .js file:

//    /* */    /* 
100

- initially highlights fine
- delete character 2, causes line 2 to appear commented (good)
- undelete this character and note that line 2 does not return to its non-commented colour
- press any key and now line 2 is re-coloured correctly
Comment 1 Grant Gayed CLA 2013-12-04 23:19:40 EST 
Another case, hopefully the same issue (also happens in the old and new stylers):

function clone(obj) {
	/* comment */
	if (obj instanceof Array) {
		return obj.slice(0);
	}
	var z = "hjlkhjl\
		fghjfgj\
		nbvc";
	return obj;
}

- on line 2 remove the last '/' and note that the block comment is extended down through the second-last line (but does not include the last line)
- press another key and note that this now extends the block comment to include the last line
Comment 2 Grant Gayed CLA 2014-02-10 12:54:41 EST 
The comment 0 case is now working, but the comment 1 case is not, so these did not actually have the same cause.  Renaming report to describe the comment 1 problem.
Comment 3 Grant Gayed CLA 2014-05-06 14:16:43 EDT 
This has been fixed a side effect of other changes, closing report.
