RE: is this a bug? or a misconfiguration in my syntax highlighting?

If you would like to fix this on your side, do the following. View|Options|Editor|Behavior. Edit the PL/SQL language. Select the "Parser" tab. Note the ordering and naming of categories that I have. All "String" categories that you have can be removed and you can replace them with the 3 that you see in my screenshot. Each of them should have the "Evaluates to..." and "Default highlighting..." set to String. Nothing on the advanced tab is changed from default values. The regular expressions for each are...

String Q-Quote

(?s)(q')((<.*?)(>'|\Z)|(\(.*?)(\)'|\Z)|({.*?)(}'|\Z)|(\[.*?)(\]'|\Z))

String Q-Quote Catchall

(?s)(q')((.).*?(\3'|\Z))

String

(?s)('|")(.*?)(\1|\Z)
