The perl syntax highlighter doesn't recognize the end of comment, when there are two german double quotes (U+201E DOUBLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK and U+201C LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK) inside the comment.
When there is only one of those quotes it seems to work correctly.
The SciTE 3.3.5 perl lexer also doesn't handle this correctly when the file is encoded as utf-8.

(BTW the Copyright in the about box still reads 2005-2012 - shouldn't it be 2005-2013?)
I think it might be the same as [bugs:#962] and [scintilla:bugs:#1483] but since this time it doesn't seem to break with only one character I opened a new bug.
See attached files scite335_cp1252.pl and scite335_utf8.pl
Diff:
Indeed this issue is related to [#962] and [scintilla:bugs:#1483], it's actually another display of improper character vs. bytes lengths; but it isn't a duplicate since the issue is still here. Reported upstream with a patch as [scintilla:bugs:#1528].
