#989 Strange Ruby HEREDOC Highlighting Flaw

[Kevin Cox]

$ geany --version
geany 1.23.1 (built on May 20 2013 with GTK 2.24.18, GLib 2.36.2)

I am experience some really wired syntax highlighting with Ruby's HEREDOC syntax in certain cases.

I have attached it below and a rendering of how it highlights on my system. I have reduced it as much as I can but any more and it highlights correctly.

• It happens for all quote types (EOS, "EOS", 'EOS').
• The characters on the first line can be removed (but if the line is removed it works).
• If you play around some characters can be removed.

This problem also occurs with Scite which indicates that its a Scintilla problem. Scintilla is a separate project (www.scintilla.org) please report the problem there.
