Description
Repro code:
namespace test_namespace
{
class A
{
};
}
template <typename T2>
class B
{
};
template <>
class B<test_namespace::A>
{
};
Resulting outline:
It looks like a :'s from the namespace scope operator is being misinterpreted as a base-specifier colon.
(Maybe a possible fix would involve use of the lexer/BraceMatcher.)

Research direction
Start with the supplied C++ reproduction and inspect the outline parsing around the lexer or BraceMatcher, as suggested in the issue. Done means the specialized template class is represented correctly in the outline, with the namespace scope operator distinguished from a base-specifier colon.
