1. Create a .js file containing this single regex literal:
 /hi there/

2. Insert a slash as shown. This will terminate the regex literal after "hi":
 /hi/ there/

3. Now put a backslash in front of the slash, which escapes it:
 /hi\/ there/

4. I expected this to highlight the entire line as a literal again, but it does not -- the literal highlighting stops at the escaped slash. This is wrong.

If you reload the editor after step 3, the highlighting is correct. So I think this is a bug in the text styler's damage handling.
