Python multi-line comment strings should be treated as comments in all themes

[ElectricRCAircraftGuy]

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

• VS Code Version: 1.78.1
• OS Version: Linux Ubuntu 20.04

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Set the color theme to Monokai. Comment block strings should be highlighted the same as single-line comments, just like Monokai in Sublime Text, but in VSCode they are not.

Fixed by PR #182162 <-- see screenshots here too!

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.78.1. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

To verify:
create a python file with a doc string, e.g.

def my_function():
	'''Demonstrates triple double quotes
	docstrings and does nothing really.'''

	return None

print("Using __doc__:")
print(my_function.__doc__)

print("Using help:")
help(my_function)

Verify that Demonstrates triple double quotes docstrings and does nothing really. gets the same color as a comment
That's for all built-in themes, not only Monokai.
