Description
Environment
- TeXstudio: 2.12.16
- Qt: Using Qt Version 5.12.1, compiled with Qt 5.12.1 R
- OS: Windows 7
- TeX distribution: miktex
Expected behavior
Block between \begin{comment} and \end{comment} should have comment color (highlighting).
Actual behavior
It seems OK when I open a latex source initially. However, when I type
"\begin{comment}"
then the color is changed as "verbatim" color.
The captured screen that shows both the color by % comment, and the color in \begin{comment}...\end{comment}.
