Description
Working to make additionally Grammars for a yaml extension and we are having an issue where the first character of a string defined as string.unquoted.plain.out is split out into its own group of the same type.
Using the Inspect Editor Tokens and Scope developer tool we see the following
This make any type of match logic we try to inject into the source.yaml nearly impossible.
Has anyone else noticed this or have a way to fix it?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior in the YAML extension with VS Code's Inspect Editor Tokens and Scope tool, then examine the relevant source.yaml grammar rules. Confirm whether the first character is assigned to a separate string.unquoted.plain.out scope and identify the grammar behavior involved. Done means the scope is not split and match or injection logic can target the full string.
