1366393 - Debugger wrongly highlights code

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(DevTools :: Source Editor, defect)

Description

[Thomas Thomas]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

All of the following

// Spread operator before regex
[.../\//];

// Void before regex
void/\//;

// A regex in do...while loop
do/\//
while(0);

// A regex in if..else statement
if(0);else/\//;

// Template literals ecaping sequence
`${1}//`;

code patterns are hghlighted like a comments, while they should be regexes. Except the last one, which is template literal, but it is highlighted like a comment too.


Actual results:

When opened in Web Debugger (Firefox's developer tool), these codes (and the rest of the line) are highlighted like comments.


Expected results:

It should be highlighted like a regex (except the last one which is a template literal string).
