How to reproduce
Open a .c file with 4 lines:
int a;
int b;
int c;
int d;
- Move cursor to start of line 2 (
int b;), press Backspace — merges it into line 1
- Move cursor to end of line 2 (
int c;), type /*
- Line 3 (
int d;) should turn comment-colored but stays normal
For a control test, open the same file fresh (skip step 1), type /* at the end of any line — the line below immediately turns comment-colored.
