Joe Carrick - The ManiaccStange display in Editor with "\" in a line
on Wed, 24 Dec 2003 06:36:28 -0800
The following line is displayed strangely (wrong colors)

cLongName := GetLongFileName(cPathName, ("\" $ cPathName)) + cLongName +
iif(lEndSlash, "\", "")

It appears that as soon as a backslash is found, the rest of the line is
considered as a string for display purposes.  The Last \ is shown in the
"delimiter" color but everything else from the first \ is shown in the
"string" color.

Multi-Edit makes the same mistake.

You are right,

I could reproduce this.

Does that mean that our editor is as good as Multi-Edit? ;-)

Joe,

 we can confirm this, the problem is that the Editor is not recognizing
 the closing double quotation if it follows immediatly after a backslash.

 Confirmed and will be resolved.
