Extension unable to properly highlight terms after small edits to code

[pinecone69]

Tested in visual studio version 17.11.5

In example:

load a Slang file in visual studio with the following code:

int add2(int a, int b) {
    return a + b;
}

int add1(int a, int b) {
    return a + b;
}

void test() {
    int x = 4;
    int y = 2;
    int a = add1(x, y);
}

Now cut out the test function with Ctrl+X, paste it back in any location which actually changes the layout of the code from its previous layout. The colors become all messed up for some terms. Edit a Slang file for a while and syntax highlighting becomes very jumbled.

I followed your steps in visual studio, but I am not able to reproduce this behavior. What extension version are you on?

[pinecone69]

I'm using extension version 1.1.8. I tried reinstalling.
Here is a video demonstration so you can see exactly what's happening on my screen:

Yes, i will work on this next week.

For this sprint, I need to work on more higher priority tasks.
I will come back to this task on the next sprint.

I wasn't able to reproduce this in vim either

Do you have anything else in your config which might cause things to differ from a vanilla setup?

No I don't think so

I think this may be an issue specific to the Visual studio extension and not to the core language server.
