Description
Version: 0.1.2
OS: macOS 12.4
When I edit a Rust file the syntax highlighting breaks until I restart the editor (just closing the file and reopening doesn't help)
Steps to reproduce
- Create a new rust file
- Start editing the file and save the file. Syntax highlighting works
- Continue editing the file and syntax highlighting breaks (text only white)

Reproduce the issue in the editor with a new Rust file using the listed steps, then inspect the syntax-highlighting path responsible for updates after saving and continued editing. Done means Rust syntax highlighting remains visible while editing, without closing the file or restarting the editor.
