Which tells me the code that is intended to sync the lexer at a stable point in the buffer at the start of Colourise() is not looking far enough back.
Yeah. In fact, for all of those quote-like delimiters, there is zero look-back at the moment, so they are always recognized as a start delimiter. Most of the look-backwards/forwards is for '/' and '<'. So a good algorithm for recognizing barewords is desirable. y is the most common such failure I've seen because it is frequently used as an x,y pair, but any solution should cater for all the types of quote-like delimiters. Another related failure case is "sub tr;". More of my thoughts in my reply to Herbert.
