Description Gil Barash CLA 2011-08-08 13:32:00 EDT 
In the code:

#include "list"
std::list<int> a;

when putting the cursor anywhere around the angular brackets nothing is highlighted.

This is a regression bug since I know that in CDT 7.0 this feature worked well.

I just tried with Helios (CDT 7.0), but nothing is highlighted, so it does not look like a regression.

The problem is that we use heuristics to differentiate between angle brackets and comparison operators.  Those heuristics are not perfect, leading to false results like in this example.
