Problem with multiline strings

[qrilka]

Looks like haskell parsing is incorrect in dealing with escaping in multiline strings. I a quite simple (but a bit dummy) example:

x = "\
\"
y = 42

I get the third line colored like a string so a backslash used for the line continuation and a quote gets wrongly interpreted as an escaped quote.

fyi, this affects all uses of Haskell's whitespace gap feature, not only multiline strings, the following has the same issue:

x = "\ \"
y = 42

Not only strings. Generally "" followed by any character except whitespace breaks coloring AND matching brakets:

map (\(x,y) -> x + y) bla

This will break matchig brakets because the opening brakets right after "" will not be reconised anymore. The workaorund is to put a space between them:

map (\ (x,y) -> x + y) bla

This issue report was last update in 2013. Is it still relevant to current code state?

I just tested the initial example, and it looks like it's still an issue.
