[Bug 1380110] [NEW] comments inside parentheses mess up the syntax coloring of shell script

[Laurent Lyaudet]

Public bug reported:

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,
   Laurent Lyaudet
