SUMMARY
I have attached an example shell file for which syntax highlighting is broken,
but the shell is valid.
Note the breakage seems to occur because of an escaped line break inside a
conditional statement causing a leading double quote that appears to be escaped
instead of the end of line.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the attached example in Kate or Kwrite
2. Observe the syntax highlighting
OBSERVED RESULT
The start of the string in the second half of the conditional appears to be
escaped leading to incorrect syntax highlighting for the rest of the file.
EXPECTED RESULT
The escape character should be applied to the end-of-line instead of the double
quote.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Tested with Kate 23.08.1 on a custom distro. I can try again on Kubuntu 24.04
when I get home.
