Description
In some cases, square brackets are not recognized as square brackets by the syntax highlighting grammar.
Environment
- Operating System: N/A
- JDK version: N/A
- Visual Studio Code version: 1.87 and 1.88 insiders
- Java extension version: Latest commit from main
Steps To Reproduce
- Create a plain text file with the following content:
public class App {
public static void main( String[] args ) {
// ↓
int val1 = new int[]{ 1, 2 }[0];
// ↓
System.out.println("val1=" + val1);
int[] arr = new int[]{ 1, 2 };
// ↓ ↓
int val2 = arr[0] + arr[1];
}
}
-
Select the Language Mode to Java (java).
-
You can see that there are several places where the syntax highlighting is incorrect for the down arrows(↓). You can verify this by opening the Command Center and entering the following command:
