Description Richard Eames 2008-11-03 21:11:51 UTC 
It (using gedit) gets confused on a regex inside parenthesis where the start/end char isn't a forward slash :
if (m{^foo$}) {}

But works if there's a space before the 'm' or if the {} are changed to //

I can confirm this bug still is still present on trunk version
Comment 2 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 11:01:38 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtksourceview/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
