Package: kwrite
Version: 2.0 (using KDE 2.1.0 )
Severity: normal
Installed from:    Linux-Mandrake 7.2 (unsupported)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 19991030 (prerelease)
OS:                Linux 2.2.17-21mdk i686
OS/Compiler notes: 

Hope this is readable -- I've double spaced between paragraphs because of past \
problems with similar "TEXTAREA" input boxes.


When a Perl program contains a foreach statement with a string variable (see example \
below), syntax highlighting is messed up afterwards -- one particular example is that \
comments are displayed in red (i.e., as a string) instead of in gray (as a comment).


The following example will reproduce the behavior, in either a Perl program (with the \
shebang) or a Perl module (without the shebang).  Just paste this into a file, view \
it in kwrite with Perl syntax highlighting turned on, and look at the comment "test".


If you comment out the first line, or delete the $ from "$text", the syntax \
highlighting is OK.


I reviewed bugs 14548, 16325, 22401 (and a few others), and I don't think this \
duplicates any of them.  I do note in your reply to 14548 reference to a rewrite \
being required anyway (around 4/8/01), so maybe this bug will be fixed in the course \
of that rewrite anyway.  


Hope this helps!

        if( /^\s+\*\sSet\sGROUP\s*\=\s*(.*)/ ) {
            if( $1 ) {
                @glist = prvGetUserList( $1 );
            }
        }
    }
