At this point all the syntax from where you are through the end of the file is screwed up, as expected (mostly "pink", or whatever the color of strings is) - then when you do type the matching closing quote sign that was missing, and the syntax is now correct, a huge portion of the file still doesn't get refreshed, that is, it remains with the wrong screwed-up syntax highlight. By moving the cursor somewhere in the part of the code whose syntax highlight hasn't been updated, usually the whole file gets properly syntax-highlighted again.
