Highlight problem with regular expressions in javascript

Community

Is it possible to correct the highlight code?

Currently with JavaScript, regular expressions fail to be properly highlighted when a double quote is used in the regular expression.
It also badly affects the escape slash


var quotesProblem = /[+.,*ª!·$%&()= ?\\^`´";:_\\-]/;

A simplified version of the problem is:


var symbols = /[\\^"_\\-]/;

The problem affects both double quotes and single quotes within regular expressions.

Use any other characters to see how the regular expression highlighting should look.


var re = /[\\^_\\-]/;

The reason why it’s a significant issue is that it screws up all of the highlighting following the misunderstood double quote.


var quotesProblem = /[\\^"_\\-]/;
var re = /[\\^_\\-]/;
f (...) {
    ...
} else if (...) {
    ...
}

The above highlighting should normally look like this without the quotes problem:


var noQuotesProblem = /[\\^_\\-]/;
var re = /[\\^_\\-]/;
if (...) {
    ...
} else if (...) {
    ...
}
