Created attachment 112608 [details] left - after update; right - before update Placing --[[ will result in all subsequent text being highlighted and counted as part of the block comment, even if the text is placed after ]]. Looking at the GitHub commits for syntax-highlighting, it appears to begin happening after the syntax files were updated for Lua 5.3 (commit 9f11b4f). Using the highlighting file for doxygenlua from before the update results in correct highlighting. Attached is a screenshot showing the issue while in Lua syntax highlighting and how it looked before.
