<p dir="auto">When writing a JS string like, <code class="notranslate">"foo\</code><br>
<code class="notranslate">bar"</code><br>
VS Code will only highlight the first line.<br>
This only seems to happen in the latest version, 0.10.5<br>

<p dir="auto">After the first line, multi-line strings in JavaScript don't get string color. In the following example, only "Hello World" has the string color, and the obj variable declaration is all one color. In the default theme, 'var' is supposed to be blue. I would also expect the rest of the string to be orange in the default theme, not just the first line.</p>
