[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Cobol syntax highlighting bugs on fixed format comments (#1678)

[Josh LeBlanc]

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. 

```COBOL
123456*DO-SOMETHING.
```

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

```COBOL
      *DO-SOMETHING.
```

Would.

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