Description
If you open a large PuzzleScript project (~1000 lines or more) in the editor, then if you scroll quickly (e.g. by dragging the scroll bar), then you can run into cases where the syntax highlighting does not work correctly for a region of code. This can also cause you to be unable to do some things, like Ctrl+Clicking levels.
I originally noted this on my PS fork, as projects there usually cover more lines than a normal PuzzleScript project. However, this can be reproduced in the PuzzleScript editor as well.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the PuzzleScript editor with a project of about 1,000 lines or more, then drag the scrollbar quickly. Compare syntax highlighting across the skipped region and check whether Ctrl+Clicking levels fails there. Done means large projects retain correct highlighting and level navigation after rapid scrolling.
