Description
Syntax highlighting in the editor window is showing C-style /* */ comments with light gray, but C++ style // comments appear with a much darker gray. I don't know which is correct, but they should probably be consistent, right?

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the difference between /* */ and // comments in the editor window, using the screenshot and issue description as the reference. Trace the editor's syntax-highlighting settings for C and C++ comments; done means both comment styles display with a consistent gray level.
