Incorrect Java syntax highlighting for parentheses inside strings inside parentheses beginning a new line

[david-russo]

• VSCode Version: 1.6.0
• OS Version: Windows 7 (64-bit)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a new file a select the Java language mode
2. Paste the following code into the editor:

new String 
    ("(A)" + "B");
new String("Following line");

"String", the quoted string literal, and all syntax following this line will be miscoloured. Compare:

new String("(A)" + "B");
new String("Following line");

Interestingly, GitHub's colourizer also seems to suffer from the same issue.

There already seems to be an issue there from 2014 relating to this. And having the issue closed here, where's it's causing a problem, signals to me that no one here is interested in getting this problem fixed... Am I wrong, or is this essentially being ignored?
