Description Olivier Thomann CLA 2007-07-23 15:06:03 EDT 
See bug 53727, using the fix for this bug, even if the compiler now reports the right priority, the highlighting is still not good.
To reproduce, apply the patch from bug 53727 and compile some code where you use tags that start with the same characters like:
TODO AK and TODO.
Only TODO gets highlighted.
Comment 1 Olivier Thomann CLA 2007-07-23 22:56:35 EDT 
The problem seems to be more that the syntax highlighting doesn't support task names like these:
"TODO AK" => contains a space
"TODO!" or "TODO?" => contains a '!' or a '?'.
This is a limitation that the java compiler doesn't have. I don't see a reason why the syntax highlighter has it.
