Is this issue still not resolved? I'm facing the same problem on Visual Studio version 1.43.2 running on MacOSX . I'm using this fork that solves me the problem: https://github.com/ithildir/vscode-java-properties

This looks like a duplicate of ticket #3 .

This issue maybe caused by the character '.
if some line only has a single quote ', the next line's color after that is wrong.

here also has a bug, microsoft/vscode#111217
