Triple quotes makes syntax highlighting confused

[scabug]

When in scala-mode, if I try to do "raw" quoted strings (I can't remember the correct term) with triple quotes ("""), then everything following is highlighted incorrectly. I've attached a screenshot of an example as well as the scala file that is having issues.

There is a limitation in how emacs modes do highlighting and the comments are a very special part! Currently one specifies that " is string begin and " is string end. I can not make it accept something like "("")? .. but it would be nice.
So sorry... I cant fix this. The same problem can be found in the python mode for emacs with its multi line string * * ... the same problem is seen there!
