Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the highlighting bleed-through in Apache NetBeans 27 using two PHP editor tabs, then compare the behavior with NetBeans 24 or earlier. Trace the editor's per-tab highlighting behavior; done means selecting an item in one tab does not highlight it in another tab.
