You use Basic style comment in the user highlighter declaration and Basic comment must start after space or tab. Open User highlighter definition and check VLisp comment in the first part of comments: ;|..|;
It will tell PSpad that comment can start directly after text. It's temporary solution, I will make this functionality for AutoIt comment #cb..#ce too. Will be available in the next build -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,73421,73428> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
