Incorrect syntax highlighting

[anewhouse]

Type: Bug

In the following Shell Script code, the until on line 9 doesn't have the scope keyword.control.shell like it should - the first letter, "u", is meta.statement.shell, and the rest of the word has the scope string.unquoted.shell

# Make sure the computer is connected to power if the battery is under 30%
if pmset -g ps | grep -q "Battery Power" && [[ $(pmset -g ps | grep -Eo "\d+%" | cut -d% -f1) -lt 30 ]]; then
	addLog "Battery is below 30%, waiting for AC power..."
	/usr/local/bin/dialog --commandfile "/var/tmp/macSetupBattery.log" \
		--icon caution --iconsize 64 --centericon --title none \
