Breaks highlighting HTML when a script tag omits semicolons

All the info you need is in this issue: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/121577

I’ll just copy over the contents of this comment:

Looks like it’s exactly the same as my other screenshot.

What I find interesting is when I put my cursor on the closing </script> html tag or even the </html>, it incorrectly identifies language as “JavaScript”

However, if I add a semicolon, it correctly identifies it as HTML:

I would expect it to be able to identify it as the correct language regardless of the presence of the semicolon.

Once I switched off this plugin I no longer had these problems:

Putting a pin in this for now, so using this thread for note-taking. The following simple cases seem to break the highlighting.:

<script>
  let foo
</script>

<script>
  foo.bar()
</script>

Like I mentioned, debugging this is pretty difficult, but narrowing it down to these cases is a start. There’s an issue with a regex somewhere, it’s just a matter of tracking it down.

Thanks! After disabling this extension for a while I actually realized I’m not sure I need this extension anymore 😅 But if I decide I do I’ll try this out and let you know. Thanks Michael!
