Javascript multi-line comment mis-identifies ending inside string literal

[gitgitwhat]

• VSCode Version: Latest
• OS Version: Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open/create a Javascript file.

2. Create a string that contains the multi-line comment ending sequence.
   var s = "some string */";

3. Now wrap the string in a multi-line comment. The parser picks up the symbol in the string as the ending.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No
Yes

This is correct. Comments have higher precedence than strings during parsing

Try running /*"some string */"; */ in a browser or node to see this in action
