broken syntax highlighting of bash

[mc-butler]

Important

This issue was migrated from Trac:

Origin	https://midnight-commander.org/ticket/3881
Reporter	xmlich02 (xmlich02@….fit.vutbr.cz)
Keywords	highlighting

By the way, the trac version combobox doesn't allow selection of '4.8.20'.

Create an bash script:

echo "hello world"
res="$(ls "-1" "$(pwd)")"
echo "hello world"

Second hello world is highlighted incorrectly. You can compare highlighting with vim or other editor as well. See attached screenshot
