Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gedit
While editing Javascript in gedit, I find that I will sometimes have an
asterisk at the end of a regular expression. In Javascript, regular
expressions are begun and ended with a / (forward slash) instead of
quotes. However, gedit identifies any regular expressions with an
asterisk as the last letter as the incorrect end of a comment (*/) and
highlights the two characters red.
For example, if I have the regular expression:
/\d*/
gedit will highlight the asterisk and forward slash red as if it were an
end-comment marker.
