<p>But reading the <a href="https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904875/utilities/xcu_chap02.html" rel="nofollow">POSIX spec</a> suggests the <code>\<newline></code> should be removed before token recognition which is when the comment is recognised, so the highlighting is correct for POSIX shells. <code></language lawyering></code></p>
<p>Since there is only one highlighter for all "shellish" things it won't match all of their deviant behaviours, so I guess its up to the maintainer of the lexer in Scintilla which it matches, POSIX or bash (as most popular) or what.</p>
