Double quotes are incorrectly matched sometimes

[Vintodrimmer]

Good day,

As you can see in the screenshot, wrong quotes are highlighted. If I select previous or next quotation mark, the match will be correct. Is this intended behaviour?

@Vintodrimmer Could you share the file in a gist? Can't reproduce locally

[Vintodrimmer]

@PuercoPop I don't have that particular config anymore, but this one shows the same issue when you select the second quote on the 6th line.
The issue is present when run as root, that has a default visrc.lua.

In my limited testing this happens with tabs but not with spaces. The filetype doesn't seem to matter. Trivial strings e.g. "this"\t"is"\t"a"\t"test" reproduce the issue.

Having merged #716 this particular case involving tabs should now work. However, the whole heuristic based approach is still very simplistic and fundamentally flawed. A proper solution would need to take the language semantics into account. See also #721, #668 and #714 for discussion/complaints about syntax highlighting.
