Public bug reported:
At random times it happens, while editing a text file in some
programming language (I see it daily with PHP files), that:
- you are editing the file somewhere in the middle of it
- you type some unmatched opening quote, for example you start typing a string
assignment. At this point all the syntax from where you are through the end of
the file is screwed up, as expected (mostly "pink", or whatever the color of
strings is)
- then when you do type the matching closing quote sign that was missing, and
the syntax is now correct, a huge portion of the file still doesn't get
refreshed, that is, it remains with the wrong screwed-up syntax highlight.
By moving the cursor somewhere in the part of the code whose syntax
highlight hasn't been updated, usually the whole file gets properly
syntax-highlighted again.
