Description Fredrik S. 2008-09-12 11:27:23 UTC 
(Say that seven times.)

Description/steps to reproduce:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
	<script type="text/javascript">
		document.write("Hello World!"/* ) */ );
	</script>
</body>
</html>

If the cursor is at the "(" after "document.write", it highlights the commented ")" as its match.

Yeah, bracket highlighting is fairly stupid, it doesn't know about highlighting contexts
