I haven't tried to reproduce it, but FWIW, [`;` is a comment](https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/master/scintilla/lexers/LexProps.cxx#L57) in the lexer used for "Config" filetype. I have no idea what "Properties" files are, but it's probably based on INI format, which uses `;` as a comment start character.
In any case, the lexers are maintained upstream in [Scintilla](http://www.scintilla.org/), so you should probably [report bugs/patches there](https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/), unless you have a reason to believe Geany is doing something wrong (ex. if it works in [SciTE](http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html), the Scintilla reference editor, but not in Geany). --- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
