$(( breaks shell script syntax highlighting for quoted context

[sparr]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.73.1
• OS Version: Arch linux current

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Enter the following text into a new file:

echo "$((true) )"
echo

2. Set the language mode for the file to "Shell script"
3. Observe that the echo on the second line, and any text you add after it before another ", is colored as a continuation of the quoted string on the first line.

Removing the space in ) ) and/or adding a space between (( avoids triggering this misbehavior.

I have confirmed through experimentation that this seems to be valid syntax in current versions of sh, bash, and zsh.

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.74.0. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!
