E.g.:

display: block;
Generates:

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the editor with the CSS snippet shown, including the trailing whitespace after the declaration. Trace the missing-opening-curly error handling and compare it with the same input without the final whitespace. Done means the trailing-whitespace case produces a useful, consistent message without changing the existing behavior.
