Array with 32 strings causes syntax highlight continuation

[mdaniel]

This is with 0.15.0 which is the current version in atom.

I had to leave out a few details to make the summary short, but a double keyworded variable with 32 strings on one line causes the syntax highlighting to continue whatever color ended the array for the rest of the file.

It is important that the variable have two highlight regions before it; you can use a separate keyword, modifier or even a comment, so long as it has to switch highlighting contexts.

I managed to boil down a reproducible test case from the original mess into this:

cat >foo.c<<C1
int main() {
unsigned char *sigs[]={""$(for i in `seq 1 31`; do echo -n ',""'; done)};
int i;
};
C1
atom foo.c

I believe this is a duplicate of atom/atom#1667 where the issue is that the line is too long and colorization stops/breaks at a certain token limit (currently, 100). Please subscribe to atom/atom#1667 for updates about this.
