Description Markus Milleder CLA 2011-03-15 09:17:07 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20110213-1648

From the discussion about underhanded code in http://thedailywtf.com/Comments/The-Disgruntled-Bomb.aspx, comment http://thedailywtf.com/Comments/The-Disgruntled-Bomb.aspx?pg=5#340905


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Paste the following in a Java file
// This is a friendly comment \u000A nasty code here

The whole line is painted as a comment.
The incremental compiler immediately notices "nasty code here" as invalid code.
While contrived, it isn't nice that syntax highlighting and parsing diverge.
Source->Format does the right thing: it breaks the line.

Real, nasty code that is valid could be a problem, otherwise I'd call it minor.
