[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Minor highlighting issue for "Conf" filetype (#996)

[Andrea Stacchiotti]

Let's start with:
```
andreas at duelitri:~$ geany -V
geany 1.27 (generato il 2016-03-13 conGTK 2.24.30, GLib 2.46.2)
```
(you miss a space after 'con' in the Italian translation, but this is not the issue at hand).

Reproduce the issue with the following script (bash):
```
echo -n a > /tmp/a.conf; for ((i=2; i<=1023; i++)); do echo -n a >> /tmp/a.conf; done; echo \;this is red but it shouldn\'t be >> /tmp/a.conf
```
this generates a file with 1023 `a`, a `;` in the 1024th place and text after the `;`, which, you guessed it, is highlighted as a comment even if it shouldn't be.

The key to this seems to be having a `;` in the 1024th place in the line, I tried several other chars and didn't get the problem, though I didn't try them all systematically.
Same for the "Conf" filetype, tried several and only this one seems to be affected.

Once this bug is triggered, a `;` in place 2048 will make the text black again and so on every 1024 (yay for 10bit overflowing, I guess).

Extremely minor, but though you may want to know.
