5 Shell script single quote incorrectly highlighted - ID: 3512197
Last Update: Settings changed ( colombanw )

Problem:
If a singly-quoted string in a shell script ends with a backslash, everything is highlighted as a quote until another single quote is encountered.

Probably cause:
Syntax highlighter is interpreting escaped characters inside of single quotes when it should not.

To reproduce:
Open "test.sh" with geany.
Add the following line to test.sh: echo 'test \' this is bad!
"this is bad!" will be highlighted, but it should not be.

Environment:
OS: Ubuntu 10.04 Server
Geany: 1.22 (built from git on 3/26)
GTK: 2.20.1

Looks like Scintilla applied the fix, at least it works for me now :)

I didn't realize that the CVS repo was out of date. I went ahead and pulled
from hg, applied a suggested fix along with my patch and submitted the new
patch to scintilla.

+1 for figuring it out yourself, +10 for submitting a patch upstream, -1
because I don't think Scintilla uses CVS anymore :(

I tracked down the problem in Scintilla and filed a bug report with an
attached patch.
