Description

The "Bracket Pair Highlight" feature breaks the editor when working on Javascript code.

All options (Bordered, Flash, Underline) result in the same issue.

Tested both within a .js file and within a <script> tag in an .html file. The behaviour didn't happen outside of the <script> tags within the HTML file as I suspect it's a bug in the syntax highlighting code.

To Reproduce

  1. Go to CodeEdit menu > Settings > Text Editing
  2. Enable "Bracket Pair Highlight" (Same behaviour across all options)
  3. Create a new javascript (.js) file - OR - an HTML file (.html) with a <script> section.
  4. Go back to the editor and try typing in a function call e.g.: function('')
  5. After typing the opening bracket, keyboard input will stop responding in the editor.

Expected Behavior

For the editor to continue working.

Additional Context
