Public bug reported:
Release: Ubuntu hardy (development branch) 8.04
Package: libgtksourceview2.0-common
Package version: 2.2.0-2
Haskell block comments can be nested correctly, unlike C block comments.
A block comment inside another block comment should not prematurely
close the outer block comment. However, GtkSourceView parses this
incorrectly and treats nested comments as with C block comments, with
the first closing comment marker reached closing all previously opened
block comment levels, regardless of nesting depth.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Start an application using GtkSourceView, e.g. gedit
2) Set language to Haskell (haskell.lang). In gedit, View > Highlight Mode >
Sources > Haskell
3) Type an opening block comment marker "{-". Text color changes to indicate a
comment.
4) Type another opening block comment marker to nest a second block comment.
Text color still indicates a comment.
5) Type a closing block comment marker to close the inner nested block comment.
6) Type some comment text.
7) Type another closing block comment marker to close the outer block comment.
Expected: The second closing block comment marker and the text before it should
be colored to indicate a comment.
Actual: They are colored as normal text.
