New submission from Vedran Čačić <ved...@gmail.com>:
Open IDLE, New File, put this inside:
'abcde\
')
x = 123456789
And try to Run Module. Of course, the syntax error is extra ) at the end of the
second line. But it is not highlighted. What's highlighted is 123 in the third
line. Some additional observations:
* the length of the first line determines somehow what's highlighted in the
third one: the longer the first line, more to the right the highlight goes in
the third;
* third line can be whatever you want, it just needs to be long enough for a
highlight to appear;
* you can even have blank lines between them;
* the same phenomenon appears if you use triple-quoted strings instead of
single-quoted with backslash line continuation.
