comments inside parentheses mess up the syntax coloring of shell script

[Laurent Lyaudet]

Hi,

I've found the following bug with syntax coloring of shell scripts in vi and vim.
If you add comments outside parenthesis, it works fine.
But if you add comments inside parenthesis, or worse comments with quotes, the syntax coloring is totally messed up.

I join a sample shell script to demonstrate the bug.

Best regards,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner.

No version information has been given and with no comments for over nine years I'm closing this as 'Invalid'. If this issue is still relevant in a currently supported release of Ubuntu then please let us know which one(s) so that the Ubuntu developers can focus their attention on specific Ubuntu releases.

You should also then change the status of the bug report back to 'New'.

Hello Paul :),
The bug is still here as can be seen in the screenshot I just took and attached to this comment.
I just downloaded the "sample script to reproduce the bug" I attached 9 years ago and opened it with Vim on my laptop.
You can see that the commands inside parentheses are white instead of yellow and that "test" in "test.txt" is yellow.
Below are the informations regarding Vim version.
It is the latest one given with Mantic Minotaur.
Best regards,
   Laurent Lyaudet
