The formatting when using a large amount of cases within a switch breaks

Feedback & Bugs
#1

I was doing CoC, and saw that the formatting was breaking, displaying things as the string colour instead of the code colour.

as can be seen it has a lot of things orange when they shouldn’t be

(the code is:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    string s;
    getline(cin, s);
    int t=0;
    for(int i=0;i<s.length();i++){
        switch(s[i]){
            case'a':
                t+=1;
                break;
            case'e':
                t+=2;
                break;
            case'i':
                t+=3;
                break;
            case'o':
                t+=4;
                break;
            case'u':
                t+=5;
                break;
            case'A':
                t+=2;
                break;
            case'E':
                t+=4;
                break;
            case'I':
                t+=6;
                break;
            case'O':
                t+=8;
                break;
            case'U':
                t+=10;
                break;
        }
    }
    cout<<t;
}

and is in c++

The highlighting got confused because you didn’t use a whitespace between case and the character.

Still a bug though, just now the main cause of it is known

#4

The interesting part about it: it works on the official Monaco website. So something that CG did broke the highlighting for your code.

We use the same syntax highlighting as the one from vscode.

It doesn’t work in vscode either.

vscode seems to use https://github.com/jeff-hykin/better-cpp-syntax, feel free to create an issue on their repo if you understand well the issue

This seems to be this bug:
