Keywords with a dot character (punctuation mark) are being incorrectly highlighted in test cases

Describe the bug Keywords that have a dot character (punctuation mark) in its name are being incorrectly highlighted in test cases.

Please, take a look at line 13 in the screenshot below.

This highlighting problem is probably related to the fact that one can use a keyword using its full reference to the library that implements it, eg.: SeleniumLibrary.Open Browser

Please, take a look at line 7 in the screenshot below.

In this case (full keyword library reference) the keyword highlighting is adequate.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a keyword with the dot character in its name
2. Use the previously created keyword in a test case
3. Keyword in test case will be incorrectly highlighted

Expected behavior I would expect that a keyword with a dot character in its name to be highlighted as any other keyword in a test case.

Screenshots Already provided it in the bug description (better for contextualization).

Versions:

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
• Robot Framework Version: 4.1.3
• Robot Framework Language Server Version: 0.41.0
• Client Version: VSCode 1.64.2

Logs I don’t think it is really needed for this specific case.

Agreed, I guess that the analysis really needs to be semantic (analyzing imports) to do the proper coloring (right now it just checks for a . in the keyword name).

Marking as high priority.

Thanks you. Your last few messages ended up in my spam, though for some reason this one was ok.

I was really wondering why you turned silent 😉

So, I ended up implementing the last things related to highlighting for the next release (including the caching of the imports considering dependencies / keyword calls with variables) and provided a new pre-release for it (which I hope to release Monday if no blocker is found until then).
