Possible Bug with Slash Specifier

[julietgolf]

I am working on some legacy code originally written in F66. There is a lot of FORMAT(/...) strewn through out the code. This is, for the most part, causing the parentheses and slash to highlight red. There are few exceptions where only the last parentheses is red. In vscode, the below code highlights (/...) red for 1060, but only ) for 1061.

 1060 FORMAT(/10X,'QUARTERLY PRINTING OF LONG-TERM TRANSPORT DIFFUSION',
     1 ' RESULTS REQUESTED (IPLT = 0).')
 1061 FORMAT(/10X,'PRINTING OF LONG-TERM TRANSPORT DIFFUSION RESULTS ',
     1 'REQUESTED AT',I3,' TIME PERIOD(S) (IPLT =',I3,').')

Further, when nested like the below, both (/ highlighted correctly and )) is highlighted red. It also caused the rest of the file to not highlight.

 16  FORMAT(/10X,'LONG-TERM TRANSPORT DIFFUSION RESULTS REQUESTED AT', &
     1  ' THE FOLLOWING',I2,' DEPTH(S):',6(/12X,F8.2,' FT'))

It also fails on any (.../),but It works fine with (//...) and (...//). It just highlights the // the same blue as it would with .EQ.. All of the text is and format specifiers are highlighted correctly, including any / that does not touch any parentheses My assumption is that fortls is assuming any instance of (/ or /) is a part of an array constructor. so when it just sees one it assumes there is an unclosed constructor.
