If you have a fixed format cobol file, having any text in columns 1-6 will cause the highlighter to ignore a comment on column 7.

123456*DO-SOMETHING.

Would not be highlighted as a comment, for example. Whereas,

      *DO-SOMETHING.

Would.

I assume there's an assumption that if anything is in columns 1-6, then it's not a fixed format.
