when using expressions like
${#1} (string length of parameter) in bash scripts, the syntax highlighting in incorrect for certain usages,
for example in lines like
 var3=${2:0:${#1}}
 (see examples at "Steps to Reproduce")

Generally noteble is the fact, that the following line is completely colored in cyan
foo=${#bar}
whereas in the line
foo=${#1} 
the dollar character gets black. This gives a hint, that the strings after # are only detected properly, if they do not start with a number

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) save the following text as a file with suffix .sh in kate or kwrite

# Example1:
function_foo() {
  var1=$1
  var2=${2:0:${#var1}} # --> displayed correctly   
  var3=${2:0:${#1}}  # --> not displayed correctly
  echo "var1: $var1 var2: $var2 var3: $var3"
}
function_foo "xyz" "abcdef" 
# output: var1: xyz var2: abc var3: abc

# --------------------------
# Example 2:

my_variable1=${1:-"${#0}"} # --> displayed correctly
tempvar=$0
my_variable2=${1:-${#tempvar}} # --> displayed correctly
my_variable3=${1:-${#0}} # --> not displayed correctly

echo "my_variable1: $my_variable1"
echo "my_variable2: $my_variable2"
echo "my_variable3: $my_variable3"
Actual Results:  
the last closing curly bracket in line 
var3=${2:0:${#1}}
is black (instead of green) marked as closing function_foo, and the chars ${# are underlined and brownish
------
in the line 
my_variable3=${1:-${#0}}
the chars ${#0 are written black (instead of green), and the last bracket } is marked to close the expression "${#0}}" instead of the expression "${1:-${#0}}"
  

Expected Results:  
the line 
var3=${2:0:${#1}}
should look exacly like the line 
var2=${2:0:${#var1}} 
with "1" instead of "var1" (all cyan) and showing that the brackets have no matching brackets elsewhere.
-----
the line 
my_variable3=${1:-${#0}}
should look exacly like line
my_variable2=${1:-${#tempvar}}
with "0" instead of "tempvar" (all cyan) and show the matching bracket correctly

Version 3.8.4
Using KDE Development Platform 4.8.4 (4.8.4)

A workaround could be using additional quoting like
my_variable3=${1:-"${#0}"}
